Trailer problems with Rear Tire Carrier?

Remember every inch further back on hitch not only overloads hitch but adds to sway problem, whereas a longer tongue increase distance to back axle of trailer so it actually tows straighter and with less sway. The Rebel

That's not necessarily true. There's a lot that goes into the sway issue. If you have the proper drop and load the tongue up with roughly 10% of the trailer weight, you shouldn't run into sway issues.

Longer shanks are not preferable, but I can assure you, with a 14" shank, it's not a problem on the H2.

One just has to remember the H2 is NOT a true tow vehicle. While it tows well for the other things it does well, it's not a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup.
