I don't understand, i had an old trailer all rusty that i use to carry my ATV with and never had any problems, nothing shaking in the pedals or the steering... I just bought this new trailer and when i drive over 60mph it gets shaky... Could it just be the wheels air pressure? Everything seems fine last time i checked but i'll double check tomorrow...

This is usually caused by lack of tongue weight. What kind of trailer is it?

Maybe have someone follow you when you are towing it and see if they can see the problem...

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the tongue weight and how can i fix this?

Is is related to where i put my atv on the trailer?

pull the atv further forward on the trailer. also, make sure your trailer is level when hooked to the truck.

Tongue weight is the amount of weight pressing down on your trailer hitch. Tongue weight is usually limited to 10-15% of maximum tow weight (w/o weight distribution tow). That is why you would move the atv closer to the front- increase tounge weight. If you move it more to the rear of the trailer you decrease tongue weight. If you do not have enough tongue weight it's like pulling a shopping cart.

Could also be that the trailer wheels are not properly aligned and aren't tracking correctly. *Usually a toe-in/out issue.

If the alignment is correct, tongue weight as an issue is minimized. Meaning: It will track properly no matter what/where the weight is distributed. *Unless of course, you get REALLY extreme.

Also, I highly DOUBT this trailer is designed to travel over 60mph. Not saying I wouldn't do it, but just be aware of this.
