It seemed to be a bit of tail wag dog although I thought I had the load distributed ok. Not too bad but I could feel some instability. The ML doesn’t feel that way when I tow cars with it so maybe the longer wheelbase or something. I don’t know if it has a built-in brake controller or not but I did notice the light on the brake box on the trailer was on when I got home (was getting dark) so maybe it does have one in the system. I’ll have to look into that more. That would be good. I’ll look at the brake rotors and see if they were worn down any.
