Good advice and I would add that under inflated (and low weight rating) trailer tires can aggravate the condition but you really need to get more weight on the steer tires and as indicated your weight distribution bars can be tightened up more to accomplish that normally. Only way to know is by trial and error on bar adjustment. CAT scales at truck stops can be used to get axle weights and normally taking the vehicle back across the scales within a set amount of time is just a nominal charge (usually $12-15 for first weighing and $2 for subsequent). On couple of different towing combinations I've gone through the weigh/adjust/weigh/adjust routine in order to get the driving experience stress free as possible. You're probably going to find out your trailer weighs more than you think but you can probably get by with a light truck using a good set up and possibly air bags to achieve good weight distribution. And make sure you don't end up with too little tongue weight or you'll have trailer wagging which can be disastrous.
