Help me understand sway - 6K trailer, 2001 Expedition

Former trailer was a 65 Boles Aero 27-footer. This was a very well made trailer, on a par with Airstream (don't tell them that) It towed beautifully with just a simple WD hitch. No sway control. ...

Adequate tongue weight is the first factor to look at. But when you start towing such a long trailer (especially relative to the Expy's wheelbase), I'm not surprised to hear that the tail is trying to wag the dog. I would not personally tow that unless I had a top notch sway control hitch. Why gamble? The body shop can't fix the dents in a human being. Get a ProPride or a Hensley.
