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.
I've seen it once or twice. I've not experienced it and would like to keep it that way.
