CHECK this out!!
I thought this might be of interest to those of us that want to know if our tow vehicles are sufficient enough for the load we pull. 
Enjoy....

What's scary is that someone would even attempt this. The best part is the very dry commentary from the camera person.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for that!
I love that clip, one of my frineds sent that to me some time ago, after i was worried about pulling my Safari from Missouri to Washington with a no frills 93 Jeep Cherokee...
Darn near ended up like that.....
glad i didn't though, and even more glad that no one has a camera around when i'm making such bad decisions.
Thanks again!

That's what happens when you forget to push the little Tow/Haul button.

doesn't look fake to me - the car is gaining speed going downhill and the smoke is consistent with the direction of travel - then at the end you can see the whole rig tipping over.
