Ya know there are about 20 guys in the world that have weighted their trailer and truck combo and them 20 guys reside on this forum. The majority of the trailer towers go to a dealer who tells them they are fine and away they go or find a used one and hook on to it. A few of us looked at the numbers on our truck and trailer, realized that we are within specs and away we go.
Why in the world would anyone want to carry 600 pounds of cement? Why would you carry enough stuff in a rear cargo box that would require 600 pounds of ballast? Makes no sense.
At low speeds trailer sway isn't a problem to control, it doesn't just turn on like a switch as posted above. Trailer sway can be felt in your butt way before its noticed in the mirror if one pays attention to how there rig rides and feels. It all in the butt to seat contact.
Ha ! ha ! ....so true ! And what I highlighted there you wrote, I go back to my earlier post: "take the cement out, take the rack off the back, and go camping !"
