<DIV>Need some feedback from all you trailer guys. My history has been
pulling my Spitfire on an aluminum open trailer with a F-150 and upgraded to
a new F250 SWR last year. I could barely ever notice that I was pulling a
trailer. Fast forward to a few months ago. I purchased a 2004 CargoMate
enclosed trailer/toy hauler. 28 foot box 10 foot tall.
12,500 GVW, torsion axles. I spent the last few months going over
mechanicals. New load rage F trailer tires. New Curt bar style
distribution hitch. Truck has a 12,400 trailer capacity and 1,250
max tongue weight. The trailer as it sits right now with the car
in it is 9,300 pounds and tongue weight is 1025 pounds. The engine of the
car is pretty much centered over the axles. I have been test driving
it yesterday and today to get a feel for it as I had planed to make the 450
mile trek to Blackhawk farms this coming Thursday. Winds here have been
21 mph, gusting to 28. I can feel the trailer pulling me side to side
quite a bit. Traveling at speed is a bit unnerving. I have gone over
everything time and time again and everything looks proper and too the
book. I don't know if this is normal and I just have a learning curve
to go through going from a light open trailer to this tank or is there
something I am missing. What you say?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Marty</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
