Have you ever towed before? If you are going over bumps then your trailer is going over them a little bit later. As your car drops the trailer might be going up at the same time which gives you a strange bouncing feeling.

Just my opinion

Can you be more specific -- regarding the roads...and the unusual bouncing?? I tow my 23ft boat with my Armada ...with no problems at all.

Could be a number of reasons. What kind of hitch? If you're boat is big you should be using a stabalizing/leveling hitch. The leveling bars distribute more weight evenly through your Armada giving you better handling. Do you have load leveling system in your Armada? I'm not sure if you do because I just bought one (with) yesterday, but if you don't have it you could check into some kind of leveling system. The inflatibles are relatively inexpensive. Any truck accessory shop worth it's salt has them. Tell them your problem.

I also to a 27' boat with zero issues at all.
