My trailer weight with the car was just under 5000 lbs. Tow vehicle was a 2011 BMW X5 with twin turbo V8, has a tow rating of 6000 lbs. Load was well balanced with the Boxster on front first, trailer never swayed at all. The Uhaul car trailers are very heavy and tandem axle.

Yes, one good example are the push-back tractors used for the commercial aircraft, because it is fairly easy to break the momentum and get a fully laden aircraft moving, however stopping it when you need it is a different story..
