This is a tough watch. Do yourself a favor and fast forward to the Rivian, and then fast forward a little more to where she actually starts driving. Finally watch it on 1.5x speed to get through it faster.

holy cow that is unwatchable yet full of little content.

I’ve done very little towing so I have a question for folks with more experience. Would it have made a meaningful reduction in tongue weight if they’d backed the IH onto the trailer? I imagine that placing the heavy engine in the IH behind the trailer axles rather than between the axles and the tongue would be a good thing but maybe not in reality. Just wondering.

I don’t know what the weight distribution of that monster is, but you’re probably right that the front is (much) heavier than the rear. There are minor aero benefits of having a vehicle like that point forward, I guess (?), but i’d much prefer the stability of lower tongue weight if it’s safe to do so.
