Hitch - Weight Carrying Capacity
Was reading some other active posts in towing section and have a question on weight carrying capacity that does not seem to get addressed. I also want to expand my knowledge of course. Is this cap...

"I disagree, the dynamics of towing are really not complicated at all, ............"
One of us does not understand the meaning of dynamics. ( the mathematical analysis of the motion of bodies as a result of impressed forces) There are all kinds of things going on when towing. Think what happens when accelerating, decelerating, turning, hitting a bump in the road, encountering a side wind, or climbing a mountain. There are enough dynamics involved to write a book. Anyone who thinks they are "really not that complicated" either is a lot smarter than the rest of us, or does not understand the situation. I am NOT saying that one has to be a rocket scientist to set up a tow vehicle and trailer to tow properly. Even I can do that.
