I would not be comfortable towing at that angle. It would affect your tongue weight and weight distribution to both axles. Real experience... I once had a small tandem house trailer (17ft) pulled by Dodge Dakota. I traded the Dakota two door for a four door within a couple of year models apart, thinking that both would have the same ground clearance height. WRONG... I was nose high, not by much but enough. On our maiden a night trip from Buffalo to Washington I realized that both the rear springs had broken at the rear shackles due to improper weight distribution on the axles. NOTE TO SELF i) check and double check that you are properly hooked up (Measure and weight) ii) complete a 50 mile dry run around home before going on a long trip. GPG
