This one scares me the most too. And often used as an excuse for having an 'unsafe' towing set up.
I don't want an overweight too long TT attached to a too small incapable tow vehicle around me on the road ANYWHERE. On the interstate open road or around where I live. Doing 30 or 55 mph.
It's the same o same o. Yup your tow vehicle can dead weight pull just about anything on flat ground in a straight line. But not set up properly it can not tow 1 foot SAFELY.
Too long, too heavy for the tow vehicle and one slight swing of that trailer and you are not only putting you family in danger but 'everyone' else along side you or even oncoming when it starts fishtailing and flips your too small, too short of a wheel base truck over. :(
I full time and when I am on the road not one day goes by that I don't see a TT with the wrong TV fishtailing all over The tail wagging the dog. Is it really worth the safety of your family to state "I" pull that setup, so sure, you can too?
