That "underinformed opinion" is spot-on.  For reasons disputed at length by
a netter who shall remain nameless, the ratio of

(truck-axle to trailer-hitch distance)

should be the smallest number possible.  Short-overhang truck and
long-tongue trailer are the ticket to fighting the amplifying-sway problem.
