My moral(s) still apply; if you have a light tow car, the towed
weight must be concomitantly lighter, and the driver more acutely aware of
and prepared for processes that are masked by mass of the tow car.
Skip, I agee with that ESPECIALLY if the trailer doesn't have its own
brakes.The small trailers I've seen towed by TRs don't have their own brakes. I
once read that the reason for the weight concern is because of brakes more so
than hp.
A small trailer being towed by a large car will be a lower percentage of the
cars brake capacity than will a small car towing a large trailer.
