length of trailer vs weight?

I think I should chime back in and sya that I used a poor choice of words for "hard pull". The truck pulls the trailer just fine but I can hear the gas pouring through the engine. haha.

I was wondering if shortening the trailer but maintaining the weight would give me a better "feel" and maybe a better MPH? It probably would not help much I just thought maybe a shorter trailer would be less susceptible to wind, etc. Probably not worth the worry though.

A longer trailer (weight being the same) will usually tow better. The longer "wheelbase" will tow better. The exception could be a longer trailer that is not aerodynamic, at the same weight, would have a larger surface area for cross winds to affect it. Keeping the cross wind situation out of the equation, most properly built, longer trailers will tow better. It is the really short coupled trailers that usually have towing issues.
