I tow all over the USA. I have a 28' enclosed car trailer pulled by a worked over 70 W200. I use the best in towing hardware. Twin sway controls. 1200 lb. Equalizer bars. Truck has sway bars on it. I ordered trailer with 6500 lb axles to get more capacity tires and larger brakes. I weighed each of my autos to get the right tongue weight. You can change position of car inside to get proper weight. As a rule you should have at least 10% of trailer total weight on the tongue. I avg. 1000 lb. It tows very nice, I travel around 70-75 mph, very stable and easy to drive.
