Too much tail for the dog?
This happened yesterday North bound I-5 thru Mt Vernon, WA. Someone familiar with GM's may be able to tell was it a 1500/2500 ? Those little backhoes are HEAVY along with the trailer.

Cummins,
I can not get my online pic hosting site to show pics any more. It WAS free, now they want $$$$$$$.
Anyway.
Another thought, is the trailer appears to be a tilt bed. The design on these makes it hard to balance them for a reasonably sane tow. I personally would not buy a tilt bed of ANY size. They are designed with almost no HW< the axels are not back 60% like beavertail or equal style trailers. Right about 51-53%, so getting enough HW is tough. I have seen many, including tandem dual setups swaying going down the road behind tandem dually dumptrucks.
I personally do not feel it is probably a truck size issue as some would like to say it is. Yeah, too big for my tastes to pull with a 1500, but that is me too! I might/would tow that weight with a ball/pintle hitch trailer with a 1500, but not my first choice.
