turty, the trailer was all over the place, I needed to have both hands clamped on the steering wheel, but also needed one on the brake controller to control the sway, I had an Equal-i-zer set-up that I had changed around some trying to dial it in. I eventually bought the Pro-Pride hitch and it made the journey better, but after only 3 trips with the Equal-i-zer and 4-5 with the Pro-Pride, I bought a bigger truck, used the Pro-Pride until I bought a new trailer then went back to the Equal-I-zer.
Now as I was trying to control that trailer, my wife was holding onto the oh-s**t bar with both hands yelling "We're gonna die!!!"
Like I stated I have a 2011 Yukon XL Denali, and I was towing a 2011 Evergreen Ever-lite 33qb. Dry was 5730 and load cap of 1363. Tow cap is 7800. So even at 100% load the trailer should have left 800lbs to the truck, which we don't carry gear in the truck, just us 3 and the dog, so that probably put us at the max.
The suspension of the SUV's is just so soft, people with pick-ups seem to not notice being overweight as much with the leaf spring rear vs the coil spring of the SUV's.
