Sway is more a function of the tow vehicle than anything else.
Demonstrated by towing same trailer, same road, same day, same speed--two
different vehicles, vastly different result.


If you don't believe that, try towing ANY trailer with an uber short
wheelbase, low overhang vehicle, like a Jeep. *A Jeep CJ vehicle will make
ANY trailer sway, with any trailer weight and balance.

That may be true for the CJ but I owned a 2-door Dodge 'Raider' aka
Mitsubishi 'Pajero'. This car had about the same dimensions as the CJ
but I towed my trailer from PA to CA and back without any sway
whatsoever. Good trailer tires and a good weight distribution in the
trailer plus the proper tounge weight are the key to happy trailering.
