What have you towed with your Sport?

AJ,  the first day I loaded it (before the trip to NY) I loaded pretty far forward on the trailer, and our sport was pretty sacked out.  I drove about 30 miles like that and didn't have any issues running, but I felt like it was too far forward.

When we went to NY I believe I loaded a bit too far back on the trailer, so it did sway a bit on the trip out.  I'm going to try and find a balance between the two positions for the ride home.  The tough part is because of the way I have to tie the car down (hooked to the frame in front and through the wheels in the rear) it's not as simple as adjusting the straps once it's on.

I may also give an anti sway and or load distributing hitch a try.

I found online a PDF of the towing capability of the Sport and it says 5,000lbs* in the book...Then I looked at the * at the bottom and it indicated that the 5,000 rating was with a weight distribution hitch and it's only 2,000 without.
