trailer balance has been the key in all my towing adventures. As mentioned when trailer weighs more than tow rig, it becomes criticial.

If balance is right, you will forget trailer is behind you. If you get it wrong, the trailer will forget you are in front of it.

Towed a full size HEAVY car trailer, with ~1200 lb load on it, with a 70 chevy blazer, 35's, body lift, etc. When load was off, we ended up doing 3 180's on freeway at 55mph. Got load right, traveled ~400 more miles, not a single issue, even at up to 70mph or so.

Don't be afraid of a little tongue weight, that is WAY better than no tongue weight. Of course you don't want to front tires on tow rig to be airborne.

500lbs or so of tongue weight usually works great for me.
