That's a pretty cool video, especially for someone that's never dealt with trailers

0-61 mph:no problems

load more weight in the front of that trailer and you should be able to fix it.

I did, but there are limits. If you zoom in, you'll notice the stacked weights on the trailer tongue and there is an unseen 45lb landscaping rock in the front inside of the trailer.
I was already above the GVW of the car and very close to the GVW of the trailer. Before those additions I couldn't even do 45 mph. I was satisfied with sixty as any less and I would have cancelled the trip. It was scary on the 11.5 miles of I-10 where I was mixed in with 80-85 mph traffic and I had the flashers on the whole time. I very much enjoyed
that trip, but I'd find another way next time.
