Short video on weight distribution

I've talked about this over and over. It doesn't matter if you tow with a Camaro or a Mustang or a bicycle, this video is revenant.

This video shows exactly what I have been preaching about for many years. If the tongue weight is correct you don't need WD or sway control or anything else for a "stable tow."

I've towed my race car trailer for many years without and WD or SC. I designed and built the trailer myself so there is a lot of tongue weight on it. Plus I know where to place the car for the best tow. It is the best towing trailer I have ever towed with bar none.

This is one of the reasons I caution people that want to stick bikes or gen-sets or whatever on the back of their trailer to be very careful doing so. Same reason for a rear kitchen trailer. Food can be very heavy and can cause problems.

I believe it. It doesn't take much to upset the apple cart. Seemingly insignificant changes in weight can help or hurt things a lot. In the case of towing that wagon, I moved all of the spare parts from the back of it to the bed of my truck. Took the spare tire out and put it under the front of the car in the front of the trailer. Every little bit of moving stuff around made differences I could feel when driving.

As an aside, the U-Haul auto transport trailers put the weight too far back. Not enough tongue weight on them, at least when there's a '64 Impala Wagon on it.
