Default Worst towing experiance ever!



So yeah this trailer is a nightmare. My truck shakes so bad at any speed. At 50 holy crap I share it's shaking bolts out of the truck. I have to do a three hour trip with it empty I really hope I can find a speed that's smooth.

Is there a brake hanging up or tires out of balance

Trailer tires don't get balanced.

Maybe the air off the huge CB antennas makes the trailer shake? Man those things are ugly!

Sounds like a bad trailer tire, try taking one off at a time.

Sorry they put weights on our Tt tires so I figured they were balanced

You can get trailer tires balanced if you want to. It is a free country! Don't let grunts at the shop tell you otherwise.

If you have access to an air compressor then air the tires down to about 25 pounds for your empty runs.
