Sadly this kind of thing happens every day somewhere. Really makes a good case for requiring true sway control hitch systems. Friction is not enough. Especially when you want to tow that fast....
I disagree! IMO, it makes a very good case for loading your trailer (ANY trailer!) properly
Any sway control gadget is, IMO, a band-aid approach to the problem.
A properly built, properly loaded trailer, being towed by a proper tow vehicle, on proper tires, with proper inflation, simply should not sway.
IF there is any sway at all, the correct thing to do is find out why, and FIX THE PROBLEM. Trying to cover up a sway problem by using a "sway control" could very likely result in just what the video shows!
