Towing golf car

I put together a 1720 lb rated Harbor Freight folding trailer. Approx 300 lbs On it, I have a 1050 lb golf car. Tongue weight is 108 lbs with the car as far forward as I can get it. Some say the tongue weight should be 10 to 15 % of total. Others say 5 to 10 %. Let's hear your opinions on the subject. I would give it a shot. Short trailers have the sway problem worse than long ones in my experience tho. The tongue weight on my pontoon is less than 100 pounds and it tows straight as an arrow at speeds up to 80 or so. The tongue load may be more on the road tho since it loads with the deck down at around 8-10 degrees so I imagine that may give me down force at speed. How far are you towing it and at what speeds? A surface road speed you should not have any trouble at all. |
