Yeah, it used to be that pickups couldn't get a load like that going fast enough to get into too much trouble.
Some friends and I up in Alaska got into a deal to cut some house logs from state land. We loaded them on the trailer that we used to haul the rented dozer up to the timber. The first load we didn't get far enough up on the tongue and it was pretty interesting getting home. About 35mph was all I could do safely. There wasn't that much traffic back then.
The other thing is people try to out-steer a swaying trailer which you can
never do. Just have to keep it straight and slow down gradually.
