Shake/Vibration when Towing

I'm not necessarily advocating for messing with it, rather characterizing it. There may be nothing wrong with the loaded alignment.

Understood and agreed.

Yeah that's just dumb. 10-15% should be tongue weight for a bumper pull setup, level of course or else that can cause issues. Caman how level is the trailer behind your 400? And I'm absolutely against putting weight behind the rear axle to try and lighten the front. That's a real good way to induce some sway. What are the tire pressures running on this truck?

If done carefully (i.e. not overdone) it's not going to cause sway. I agree it's not ideal, but if there's no room to shift the load, it's the only option left. Besides deal with the shake.

Tire pressure is an excellent point.

It’s level when on what “appears” to be level ground. Obviously that can be subjective since I don’t have a perfectly level road. 265/75/16’s @43 psi. Cold of course.

What about HotWheels way of dropping a bit in front so it’s not perfectly level?

If you've got too much tongue weight dropping the front will make it worse. You'd need to go the other way.

Then I can be on some YouTube Failure videos! Hours of fun.

What could possibly go wrong loading those?

Checked Axle bearings on the trailer?

Take a tape measure from the hitch to each axle perch and make sure it’s tracking straight.

Also, front Atv IS a bit heavier being a 570 and rear Atv is a 450. Same platform but slightly bigger engine on 570.

New bearings 2 years ago, not like I’m daily driving it either. When towed with the 2018 you didn’t even know it was there, very smooth.

That's like the U Haul service trucks; they have racks like that to carry the trailers on. There's one at the location I have my storage room in, right now there's no trailers on it. But they look weird when loaded(prolly a lil top heavy too).
