How to stop towing wobble and sway

There's so much more to it than that, but that's a good demo for loading a trailer.

It won't solve evryone's problems but it does show the dynamics between the truck and the trailer when hauling a load!

Too much tongue weight- trailer tries to steer

Too little tongue weight- trailer tries to steer ...and lift tow vehicle

I remember loading a car up backwards on the car trailer. That did not work well. I wasn't aware that too much tongue weight is a problem until it unloads the front end; then it's a problem.

Just don't drive fast and no problems.I see people driving too fast pulling trailers all the time!

A buddy of mine borrowed my truck to haul home a '78 Bronco that was in a lot up in the mountains. He dragged the Bronco up onto the trailer *** first. When driving home, he encountered a downhill traffic jam and when he hit the brakes, the lightened tongue lifted and he jacknifed the trailer....

He made up for it though....
