Default RE: this sucked..

Coworkers borrowed an Excursion and trailer to haul their new Harleys down to Daytona Bike Week about 6 years ago. It was an "M" plate and they said this would put heavy milage on the OBD II test. The trailer they borrowed was not a true bike hauler.

On the way back someone rear-ended the trailer, pulling both trailer and vehicle off the road, rolling down an embankment. Bikes were trashedand one guy hurt bad.

Ford refused to pay for the trailer since the M plate wasn't supposed to be towing anything. Nobody's insurance would pay for the trailer or the 4wiped out Harleys. That, and they still had to fix the trailer they borrowed.

All this to save money.
