Actually yes. Only found it cus I could smell it after I stopped

That's not cool... figuratively or literally.

Yeah, I don’t understand how this could happen.

I melted the passenger side of my rear bumper and reflector pulling my enclosed trailer. I bought it used and original owner had cut the exhaust pipe just past the rear end so it was blowing the hot exhaust straight back on the bumper. Drove it a couple months with no issues but I guess pulling the trailer at 75mph up some pretty good hills got my egt’s high enough to melt it. Btw mine is a diesel.

So is there some missing info here like a aftermarket exhaust?

Towing any trailer up any hill or on any road is too fast. Just check the speed rating on your trailer tires.

Hmmm, idk it’s steel underneath so it won’t spread. And I got other mods I want more. Pretty much gonna leave it be I guess.
