That outboard motor on the boat is reluctant to shift forward. But, yes, you are spot on about how a trailer is loaded will make a big difference. It also reminded me how overloading the tongue can make the front wheels "light" (and in RAV4s that's the drive wheels, even with AWD). Which can be another major issue when braking (weight shift exacerbates) or accelerating.
