[QUOTE="jellybean, post: 8142023, member: 6502"] Anybody who has done much towing will know the importance of correct ball hitch height and nose loading of the trailer. Never assume that a borrowed trailer will behave the same as your own. I use an adjustable Dixon Bate type carrier for the ball hitch; when the trailer is loaded and hitched to the vehicle I use a tape and measure the height of the trailer bed to the road at front and back and adjust hitch height until the trailer is running level or until I reckon the nose loading and height are the best I can get. If I go somewhere with an empty pick up and trailer with a load and then get a load on the pick up too I repeat the procedure. Once you have had a few near accidents you learn to get it right.
