Looks like a 2500-3500 hundred to me. Diesel, dual batteries, box of def fluid.

He had a nice hitch though.

Why is the fifth wheel hitch detached from it's mounts in the bed?

Yea, I watched that last night. Still trying to figure out what he did.
I could be completely wrong but I'm guessing sense his trailer is pretty straight and that's a intercection he probably was going to fast and the light turned so he slammed on the brakes and didn't have his trailer brake turned up or bad brakes in the trailer. He locked the brakes on the truck. the trailer pushed him sideways and just folded him under.

Wonder what the wrecker bill runs on something like that. Lots of equipment and people ******* for a long time.

I saw this on rv.net. not good. That's the new aluminum body super duty.

It does appear to be lifted and has bigger tires on it. If you check rv.net, the driver has some posts I believe he says he was rear ended, but that 5ver does not appear damaged.

That's what I was thinking as well. And he prob felt like he was rear ended when the 5th wheel broke loose and the Super Duty became a rag doll. That's crazy. Maybe he didn't have it completely hooked up? You can see the damage where it slammed into the bed. I also don't think the weight savings of aluminum helped in that case.

I saw that video a few nights ago. I believe he stated in the video that the truck and the trailer were both brand new?! Craziness!!

Didn’t see any damage to the rear of the trailer.

From what I gathered on another forum the driver ran a red light (claimed it changed way too fast on him...) and got hit on the rear side of the truck (might explain the broken rear wheel).
