 Topic: Towing LevelPosted: June-22-2009 at 11:14am |

I'm taking the Mustang on a 4 hour Interstate drive this coming up weekend. I normally use my 5 inch drop hitch to get it to the lake. I use a 5 inch so that I can get it out of the yard without digging holes with the prop guard. But I'm wondering it I should switch to my 3 inch drop hitch for the trip? Does pulling more level make a difference?
Would it affect swaying? I have had no swaying problems since I moved my boat up on the trailer but it still is only about half of the tongue weight it's supposed to be. I don't know if the hitch position makes much of a difference. Thanks! |

David,
I can't say that a trailer frame slightly off level will have that much effect but since you are already light on the tongue, I'd switch the hitch out. It's not that big of a job and you don't want 2 things against you on a trip. |
