Why is it important to distribute cargo weight evenly across a trailer's axles, not just load it all in one area?

Pick an answer

1. Axle weight distribution only matters for the vehicle's appearance
2. Distribution only matters once the total weight is already close to the legal limit, which sounds right but isn't, at least for area
3. Uneven weight can overload some axles while underloading others, affecting handling and legal weight limits
4. It only affects fuel economy, not handling or legality
