Towing a IW505 trailer versus a IW510 trailer - any difference?

[Fifty Bales of Hay]

Is there any difference, other than the length and width, between towing an IW505 trailer and an IW510 trailer?

Does the 510 feel more stable due to it being a bit heavier? Or will there not be any difference whatsoever?

Has anyone here towed two similar trailers like this, and seen any changes in how they handle, or the ride of them?

Thanks.

Have had both and didn't notice a difference, other than the 505 being a little bit lighter.

I have towed both last friday, trying to find out what my Kia's problem was..... it was just as jerky (car tho not trailer) but didnt really notice much difference......

They are quite a lot bigger tho

the trailer man didnt think my Sorento was up to it, till I told him that it can tow 3.5 tonnes!!!! That kept him quiet

The 510 has a wider axle, therefore it gives better stability. But it is alot bigger!

I have had both, haven't noticed any difference to the feel when towing but I have a Discovery so its fairly meaty. I do find the 510 slightly harder to reverse and park up because its a lot taller (but not wider really) just feel I don't have such good visibility. Hope this helps!!!
