If a new cap on the truck doesn't fix it, I will have to redesign the trailer. Maybe you have a similar issue. Do you use a tire rack? Can you adjust the position of the car to change tongue weight?
And get the tires balanced to eliminate that. Are you sure the tires were new?
This is a '16 dual axel car hauler, so it's pretty stable back there. The trailer an '06 that I bought new in '07, so the tires should be good for a couple more years... I hope!
