What the hell was going on? A pickup carrying 2 tonnes of fish, it probably overturned due to being seriously over loaded. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say it was a poor attempt, I reckon he could have gotten at least 3 tons on also room for one more between his ears as for sure theres nothing else between em! morning Colin 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 There’s something fishy about this story..... ???? Difficult to tell from the picture - did the tyre actually blow out? or just overloaded truck turned over when the driver swerved (fell asleep and woke up ?) ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdenner Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 What a surprise. Overweight and unstable, probably in water (no visual evidence but the norm up here) just sloshing around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 And just to add to all the ills you can imagine how well the Truck is maintained ? In all probability the tyres were underinflated for the load and the Guy was driving like he was driving a Ferrari ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger70 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 8 hours ago, rooster59 said: Pickup overturns on highway after tyre explosion By THE NATION What does one expect . The Toyota Hilux Safe load rating is 405 KG , Not 2000+kg that this one was loaded with. For example, if you deduct the 3200kg braked towing capacity from its 5650kg GCM (or how much it can legally carry and tow at the same time) the 955kg payload limit is more than halved to 405kg - a huge reduction of 550kg or well over half a tonne of payload..

Venom Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 This is news? I see this all the time. I would estimate 89% of these trucks are poorly maintained and severely overloaded by at least twice the braking capacity, and well over the 3 meter hight limit Thai standard. Tires will blow, folks. It's no wonder they have to block the passing lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
