Somebody's vacation got ruined

I'll volunteer a guess: tail wagging the dog. I had Trailblazers in the past - great SUV's that were capable of hauling 6 or 7 thousand pounds. One day we were coming home with a car on the open 16' hauler - we were well below the load limits; but with some extra weight on the trailer (rather than Ed's lightweight dragracer) - it wanted to get a little "pushy" with the shorter-wheelbased SUV; actually, scarily-so. That's when I traded up to a pickup truck - the longer wheelbase made a world of difference.

I can only imagine how pushy a travel trailer would get with a short SUV....
