Towed with a friends F250. No problems. So the truck is the culprit. Tires are worn. Will get to dealership for full check up
You simply are NOT listening to FACTS. Too much RV for any 250/2500 no matter how you slice it!
Culprit??? Not hardly as you are asking it to do something that it simply can't. Waste all the money they want but the truck is NOT the issue.
The truck may very well have damage that is causing the swaying….but even if the truck is repaired and brought up to spec, it is still not near enough truck for that trailer. Towing that trailer with that truck is an accident waiting to happen, and probably illegal.
OP: Please convince your brother to get a 350 dually or a smaller trailer.
Legal, is not the issue, he is legal in ALL 50 states of US, as long as he has enough paid for license registration! I've been pulled over in one of my rigs at 150% of its factory warranty weight rating, no overweight ticket, altho I did get a 10 day up my registration by 2000 lbs, as I was over my paid for amount.
It does sound like there is something wrong with the truck itself. Be it the tires on the truck have blown belts, too little psi, tread, too soft of sidewalls....broken coil spring, bracket that holds them in place, anti sway bar.....something mechanical is broke.
