It happened to you, it happened to me, and will "eventually" happen to others. It usually takes "the experience" of towing with a larger, more powerful vehicle for most people to realize how "under-rated" their "on the verge of being overloaded" vehicle really is.
What's the "old saying" ?? If only I'd have know this earlier........

My old F150 and trailer sway badly on I 75 toward Florida. In June a gust of wind moved the entire rig [both pieces] into the next lane. I dread when semi trucks approach from behind.
