Thanks for the answers guys, i'll check everything and do a test and if its still shakes, i will contact the place where i bought it because the salesman showed me picture of his truck with this trailer on, with a quad in the trailer and another one in the bed and he has a Ram 1500 so thats why i bought this one... I believed it was a good setup and didnt seemed like to guy who drives like an old man...
Anyway thanks again for the answers and i'll keep you guys posted!

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...

Youre still getting sway with it loaded like that? Trailer looks level and it looks like the quad is as far forward as it can go so youre covered there. In that case Id be looking at an alignment issue like another poster suggested.

Oh ok, in that case I would be looking at the tires. Most trailers come with cheapo tires on them and they usually arent balanced. If you like the trailer Id have them swap the tires and see if that helps. Just a side note though, most trailer tires arent rated for over 60-65 MPH and the balancing is one of the reasons why.

i had a PJ 5x8 utility trailer that pulled like a dream. I also had a home build-it-yourself 4x8 that couldn't track worth a ****. The PJ was 700lbs empty and had 15" tires, which was the biggest reason I bought it. Sheer weight will help the wiggle. Take the gate off too, for a test run, if you can. They are known to induce sway, but yours looks shorter than most, even. Worth a shot though
