back when i was a teenager i was a passenger ina 68 f100 with spongey singles on the back with a load of bricks, also on the f100 with a rather large tandem in tow with a very kaput xk falcon on the back(poorly restrained, balanced, and overloaded) , i had a very short but hair raising ride.
we may have gone half a k .............. the old girl got the colly wobbles up very quickly and jack knifed, the xk under took us and ended up in someones front yard, the f100 before departing company with the trailer went up on 2 wheels, very close to going over, spinning around faceing the opposite direction , the trailer neatly parked itself in the gutter on the other side of the road, i remember to this day that i commented on how spongey the tyres were prior to our little jaunt, i believe this one thing had it been addressed may have saved our bacon, but all the other points made in this thread are very good ones.
