Hi,
Is the swaying an indication of tongue weight being to great or to little?
thanks

Check your tongue weight. Sounds like it is swaying.

Hi,
I bought a boat and trailer with total weight of 5,000 lbs. The

trailer
is
dual axle with brakes on all wheels. The trailer brakes by the tongue
moving into the trailer. My tow vehicle is a 2001 1/2 ton Suburban

with
5.3
L engine.

All does great from 0-50 mph. It struggles the closer I get to 60+.

There
is a slight sensation of push/pull from the trailer. I am concerned

that
perhaps the trailer's brakes are to sensitive or that I am out of

horsepower
from the Suburban. I pulled over after 50 miles and the hubs felt

cool.

What do you think?
thanks
