Have seen that a few times in different places but thanks for posting - it's always an interesting watch.  :cup:

Would be good to know how much / what % of weight was transferred to have that effect  ??? EG on a CT weighing 1000kg, would moving an extra 20 / 50/ 100kg to the back do it?

Bit of an extreme weigh shift, but I have seen some very bad loads.  The other day I saw a ute with about 20-30,  5.4m long fence plinth boards loaded on his 3 metre trailer.  They were nearly dragging long the road.  He couldn't fit them on his roof rack as he had about that much on them as well.

Yeah, it's getting like that. His was on the first or second boat so he had quite a few months of being held up at servos and shops by lookers but that has all but stopped now. Reckons he hasn't been breath tested so many times in all his life than he was in that first 3 or 4 months either. All the coppers wanted look too.

My Managing Director has a Commodore SSV currently, and looked into trading it on a Mustang. The Mustang cannot be specced with a towbar, so he is not getting one.

Tell him it's a feature, not a fault. It prevents the pendulum effect from poor weigth distribution in his trailer
