Had a North Trail myself before the current 5er. Worst towing trailer I've owned. Always wanted to waggle around, even with the Hensley Arrow I finally used. Hard to say for sure if the NT in the pic has the axles more towards the center like mine did. Even with 12.5% for TW it still wiggled. Couple poor towing characteristics and a shorter WB of the SUV, I could easily see it being a sway issue. Pure speculation at this point but from my experience thats where I'd put my money.
Dont they have some models with the axles spaced farther apart or something? My friend has one and iirc he said some name or package they have for it. His spare tire bracket broke off the tongue and bent an axle blew 2 tires and put him in the ditch up in Alaska. Said he was lucky he didn't go off a mountain.
LOL, yes they do. Mine had the Wide Trax axle spacing. IMO it did nothing except allow a lighter tongue weight by spreading the axles further apart. That coupled with the more center position they were in did nothing for handling. My tongue weight from the factory brochure was under 10%. Around 9.? %.
I had Lippert axles as well. Had to have both re-aligned. One tire was wearing badly and two others were on their way to wearing badly.
Live and learn I guess.
