Towing a trailer can be dangerous with the wrong weight distribution

At least 60% of the load needs to be at the front of the trailer. If too much weight is at the back, it can swing out and you lose control of your vehicle.

You're right but there is a huge difference between B train and A train set up and quite frankly B train is far superior in every way except for turning radius. You could probably touch the ass end of the third pup with your hood mirrors if you cranked the wheel over enough.

[@pineyLt]

General rule is loading the higher % of the trailer weight slightly forward of the axle. The trailers tongue weight must be 10-15% of the entire loaded trailer weight. 500 lb tongue weight for a 5,000 lb loaded trailer. Think smart, if your vehicles max towing capacity is 5,000 lbs don’t try more than 3,000. Get a bigger vehicle. If your trailer is 2,000-3,000 lbs and your small pickups tow rating is 3,500 lbs don’t do it for anything other than dry days, short trips, and low speeds. On wet days that load will push you through a stoplight. If you tow regularly get a full sized truck, a 1500 or 150 minimum. 2500 or 250 is a safer choice. Lastly if your towing don’t drive like your not, keep the speed under 60. Over that your just asking for it.

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

[@Alex462047]

I tow with a 2104 Lada (500kg towing capacity, bar rated for 750kg). Due to being a mad bastard who used to tow two trailers behind a Kenworth truck, maxing out at 64.5t, I have been known to load my little trailer up to 1,5t with bricks or building materials (all without exceeding the towball downforce maximum of 80kg). You don't want to go much faster than 30-40km/h, otherwise, if you hit a bump (and we've got plenty of those around here), you'll suddenly throw a couple of hundred kg onto the towball and it'll hit the ground. Just don't let the cops see you doing it.

You can have the perfect weight distribution and still get a sway. It happened to me taking car parts to the Canfield swap meet. Turns out the wheel bearings needed repacked and tightened up. When I went through school for diesel tech, the instructor said that if a trailer started swaying to gradually speed up to put pressure on the joint and pull it straight. He failed to say what happens when you run out of loud pedal and it's still swaying. I got lucky and got it stopped before anything bad happened.

Wheel placement on the trailer plays a factor as well Most trailers have wheel placement in the back third of the trailer. Not right in the middle of the trailer.

[@mikemiller9119]

This model is incorrect. If you loaded your trailer the way this model is showing, you wouldn’t have anything in the middle of the trailer. They should show more positions ahead of the axles. The majority of the weight should be slightly ahead of the axle.

[@renanfrancisco7642]

It doesn't matter where the weights are, the purpose is to demonstrate where the center of mass must be in order to make the thing stable. It makes no difference where the weights are, as long as the center os mass is ahead of the axis.

@@renanfrancisco7642 not really, you need both the center of mass AND the moment of inertia to be equal. Bodies with the same center of mass have different behaviours in these kind of situations if their moments of inertia are different.

[@mickcarson8504]

I've been saying this for years, don't put excess load at the back of a single axle trailer, or the rear of the car will be lightweight. If your caravan, horse float or boat trailer have single axle, the risk of jacknifing at high speed is greater than a trailer fitted with tandem or triple axles. But these are hard to turn around manually to park or store and can only be done while hitched to a car. However, at speeds of 190+kph these trailers track straight with little chance of jacknifing because each axle wheels follow the next axle wheels, even if you sway the car to force it to jacknife then straighten the car and watch how the trailer straightens and tracks true without problems.

[@a.lavernefilan1888]

I loaned my three axle trailer to someone to haul some lumber. The three axle's were pretty well centered under the 16 foot steel deck. My now ex-friend had brought his load of lumber from the State of Oregon to the State of Washington without me being present. He then called me up on the phone and wanted to know if I would drive his half ton 2 wheel drive pickup to another town pulling my trailer hauling his big load of lumber which was 20 feet long while he drove another vehicle to his destination. I agreed but when I looked at the really big load which had about 4 feet extra hanging over the back, I told him I didn't like the look's of the load. He said it would be just fine if I went slow. He pulled out ahead of me with his truck load of gravel and headed down the road and I followed. I accelerated slowly and was only up to about 15 MPH when the trailer started swaying wildly. I let off the accelerator completely and put medium pressure on the brake hoping the swaying would snap out of it but it just kept getting worse and finally the hitch actually popped off the 2 5/16" ball, I locked the brakes and the front corner of the trailer and the lumber caved in the back corner or the pickup bed. The owner of the pickup and lumber saw what happened, turned around and came back and then he told me that the same thing had happened to him only on a divided 4 lane rain soaked highway where he had completely swapped end's and had to drive the wrong way for a brief spell until he could turn around and head back the right direction and then he had driven 15 mile's at about walking speed on the shoulder of the road. I thanked him for not telling me this before. I then had him haul me 25 miles to where I had a 3/4 ton 4X4 with a much higher hitch and a conciderable amount of weight in the back. With the much taller ball hitch height the trailer tongue at least wasn't putting much lift on the ball and a 250 pound person could push the tongue down and lock the hitch on the ball. I still wasn't real comfortable with the situation but I could go 45-50 MPH without any side to side movement. Later I extended the trailer deck out another 8 feet in the front making it a 24 ft. trailer and I no longer have to alway's try to load it front heavy. I also had a tiltbed trailer with more deck behind the axle then ahead of the axle and I turned it from a 5X8 tiltbed into a 5X14 non tiltbed with higher side's and everybody 💘 loves it, especially me.

That mustang can barely go in a straight line as it is , Now you want a mustang with a loaded trailers crashing into a crowd full of people

[@forgotmuhname4718]

Ditch the mustang, it’s a bad example because it automatically gets a 50% higher chance of crashing

[@hatsuu0884]

It comes to the driver's experience If that idiot floors the gas unto the corner( because the mustang has a lot of HP )it will lose traction, resulting into a crash. But since you are not dumb enough to do that( hopefully ),you can buy a mustang for yourself.

From classic control point of view, is this demonstrating a right-half plane (RHP) zero in the control system? Any comment is much appreciated!

We now see the mighty Mustang commencing with its natural mating call.

[@eln0n01]

[@Westside19th]

Something I knew but didn't think it would be that dramatic. Thanks for the upload.
