Something is wrong..... did it sit higher in the rear hitched up than it did unhitched?? If so, there is WAY too much weight shifted to the front....

Hmmmmm...... so, a 32 foot trailer would require a wheelbase of 120" + (8*4") = (at least) 152 inches? That would just about insure that it was an American, 1 ton, crew cab, with a long box.....!
