Yeah the Gene pool is getting thinner hahahahaha.
And my comment has nothing to do with vehicle Brand. With alloys and stuff they just cant carry the load But people cant see that, as long as no one was hurt hopefully a lesson was learnt |

Amazing to think though, what kind of weight was in it in total for such severity

probably not far off a couple of ton, way more than it was designed for anyway, it would have been much cheaper for him to put some of it in a trailer, he has a tow bar, go figure.

one important word missing here.......
- what happens when you overload a HOLDEN ute.  A falcon ute'd just go meh, and keep on trucking.....
