Most of us probably already know this, but for those that don't, this video perfectly demonstrates why trailer weight distribution is so important:



Though I will say, I'm not sure why you'd want to tow anything with a Mustang :risas3:
 
It's funny you posted this today. I am going to Glamis Dunes for Thanksgiving, and while usually I haul two quads and gear, and everything kind of self balances in the trailer, this time is a solo mission, so I am only hauling one quad. I was wondering if there are changes I need to make when I load up my trailer, and that answered my question perfectly haha.

I have many years experience towing enclosed and camper trailers and the advice I always give to towing newbies is when in doubt, have more tongue weight. The consequences of too much tongue weight is way easier to deal with than too little.
