If you are going to tow with a vehicle that is "a little on the light
side" there are a couple of things that you can do to minimize the
"fishtailing" effect.

1) Very good breaks on the trailer with a brake controller that contains
an intertia switch rather than on that relies upon the brake pedal.

2) MANUAL transmission!!!
