My son said this load was a piece of cake. I asked him why he backed the Mustang on and he said to clear the doors with the trailer fenders.

Try a split-axle weigh at the Cat Scale before declaring it good. (Scalemaster instructions are in the book for Fuel Desk personnel not familiar). This will show the weight carried per trailer axle.
Tongue-percentage and axle percentage have a relationship. The tongue is a lever. What causes it to rise abruptly is not our friend.
As with loading the truck bed: atop or ahead of the axle center.
Neither is an empty truck bed or inappropriate tires/wheels our friend things get squirrely.
The majority of combined vehicle weight being at the ends of the combination, means TW percentage a greater concern.
1). Did the WD Hitch return the Steer Axle to the unhitched weight value? Spreading the TW force across ALL axle sets is its value. Down or Up in movement.
2). Braking below 35-mph was FASTER once hitched, correct?
— There are tests. Use them. A pickup with modifications BAD for towing can get by. Sorta.
“Hitch & Go”, described all bad endings.
