This video shows how important it is to have the correct weight balance when towing a trailer, to avoid losing control of your vehicle.In this demonstration (using a miniature car and trailer), the car remains in control with at least 60% of the weight toward the front of the trailer. As soon as more weight is distributed toward the back, the car loses control.

This is how dangerous towing a trailer can be with the wrong weight distribution
At least 60% of the load needs to be at the front of the trailer. If too much weight is at the back, it can swing out and you lose control of your vehicle.
