Thanks Guys...
I guess I'm gunshy because of all the sway issues I've read about with 1/2 tons and longer heavier travel trailers.
What about all the sway issues you've read about with 1/2 tons and shorter trailers? Shouldn't that scare you away from towing altogether?
Frankly I am not sure what sway issues you've read about, because nearly all of the supposed "sway" I've read about on here is NOT SWAY. The trailer bobbles a little and comes right back in line. That's called rough road. That's called wind. That's called a large vehicle passing at high speed. If it didn't require active correction and/or did not kill you, it was NOT sway.
Besides if you take precautions and load the trailer with some common sense, you won't have sway to begin with. Use a good integrated sway control for "belt and suspenders" protection, and you have nothing to worry about.
