Default Do trailers with coil springs and shock absorbers sway at higher speeds?
Trailer weight is too far aft. Our Komet trailer with LS4 tows fine at highway speeds behind my old Ford Ranger and my newer Toyo Tundra Gen2.
We had that problem towing an empty Cobra Grob 103 trailer until we put a couple of tool boxes and spare tires in the front. Towed just fine with a 103 inside.
Factory Grob 103 trailer towed really bad with a glider inside. It took a lot of weight at the front end of the trailer to settle down.
