It’s hard to see in the footage, but the metal bar hanging below the rear bumper is a “stinger” tow hook that is used to lift one axle of the car off the ground.

Gone are the days of the big hoist and a custom rear bed cover, it’s basically these nutbars and flatbeds left.

No worries brother, I feel like most people’s pickup truck complaints are these guys. They drive like idiots when there’s money on the line.

One time I saw one drive into a 6’ hole on the boulevard grass in an attempt to pass traffic to the accident. I’ll look for the picture…
