Heck I once saw the whole step bumper and hitch depart a pickup towing
a 28ft cabin cruiser. The boat and trailer crossed the five or six
lanes of I-5 a couple of times in grand arcs and stopped without
damage. Pretty amazing. Spring would seem a good time to check all
hitch bolts and welds.

Sometimes it may be helpful to have a weak tow hitch?
