Why is towing my little trailer so stressful?
We have a 16' vintage trailer that weighs less than 2500 lbs. We pull it with a 2013 Toyota Prerunner (rear wheel drive) double cab V6. It doesn't have the factory tow package, just an after market hi...

The trailer weighs 2500 pounds. If the Toyota can't handle that without a Weight Distribution Hitch I'd get rid of it. I wouldn't be the least bit afraid to tow that behind my 1984 Lincoln Mark VII car.
That being said, I agree take it to a scale and get a tongue weight. You may be loading the trailer wrong. As has been said, check the pressure and types of the tires. The right tires and the right pressures will make a big difference. And, I say again, if everything else checks out ok, then check for a bent axel. It happens quite often and if things are out of alignment it will tow like crap. Been there, done that.
