i did buy a custom built trailer and it is only 30' oal. i thought for sure that was short enough on the bumper that it would tow close to as nice as the fiver we previously had run for 10 years. i guess i was spoiled with the fiver! empty it tows great but wind has grabbed it a couple times and i felt that behind my drw. i kept the drw as the f350 diesel is paid for and trucks are crazy high imo.
Have you taken it to the scales to see what your weights are?
If empty it pulls great and loaded it's squirrely, it may be that you are too light on the tongue when loaded.
A properly set up bumper pull will tow just fine. Not as good as a 5er but shouldn't be an issue.
How bad was the cross wind? I've had the wind grab us both with 5er and bumper pull. If it's strong enough, I've seen semis blown around.
