Ever hear EMS guys talk about collisions with people that put 1 gallon paint cans in their back seat? There is a reason they don't talk about it. It ain't pretty.
It's your 800 lb tractor, so do as you may.

Funny you bring up being involved in a collision......been there done that.
This is my 2007 Interstate cargo trailer. I used a 1999 Chevy Suburban to pull the trailer.
The trailer has a rear ramp.
I had e-track installed on the floor.
I like the capability of installing a ring anywhere in the track and hooking strap to what ever I'm hauling. I will tie down anything I haul with straps on the front and back.
This is how your load of cubs look after you hit a deer at 11:30 PM (actually 3 deer-momma to be-you could see the little ones) :
The person who installed the track had the track only going thru wood. That is my restored 100 that was finish 6 months ago.
