Sounds like you already have your answer. No one called you crazy, I just hate to see any one "think" they are good when they don't have issues while towing in "ideal conditions" then get the "big surprise" when less than ideal or an emergency maneuver is encountered. BTDT as most of us have.

My F250 rides much better with 1,00 -1,200 lbs on the tongue than it does empty. Years ago I bought a hitch scale https://www.sherline.com/product/she...-weight-scale/ . I know exactly what my hitch weight it and if I need to shift some weight inside before I hitch up. Look around for better pricing than their site but to me it was a well worth the $ investment. JMHO
