I am really curious to find out if balancing the tires helps.
I have on 08 Triton trailer and there is a lot of vibration when empty.
It seems fine when loaded so I have never done anything but always wondered if it was hurting anything.

What did you find? On another note the company I worked for had a small 10 foot tilt trailer for a scissor lift. When pulled empty or loaded it would fishtail about a foot both ways from center. Felt like the wheels were 2 lbs out of balance. I was even pulled over by Colorado States finest saying he thought it was coming loose. Darndest thing to follow. We were going to move the axles back a foot but now its someone elses issue. They closed the doors after 30 years. Hope you find a cure! My Titon pulls great no issues so Im sure it is something fixable.
Wheels are not bent are they? Does it have brakes? Warped drum or out of ajusment? Maybe short in wiring? Just brainstormin with ya

I picked up my trailer last night and it pulls great now. They replaced 1 rim and tire. The dealer said Triton has about 6 trailers a year they warranty with this problem. Im just glad its fixed and THANK YOU to everyone that helped out on here!!!!
