New 30ft Trailer Towing Experience

Hi-jacking bluepost's thread but seems like the most discussion regarding Sequoia towing.
Just got back from another trip out with the Sequoia. This was 300 miles to and from Broken Bow, OK. As expected, we had absolutely zero issues towing on any roads we were on. Interstate, 2 lane highway, back country roads, mountain roads, steep grades, we hit it all. The Sequoia pulls amazingly well. Zero uncontrollable sway incidents with semi trucks passing us or us passing semis. We kept our speed around 65 mph. The Platinum with it's air ride rear suspension continues to amaze me. I did have an issue with the trailer brakes where somehow both ground wires worked their way out of the connectors at the axles. Even with an estimated 8000 lbs trailer (7050 dry), the Sequoia was able to control it and stop just fine. I will say that having a properly dialed-in setup is an absolute must. From weight distribution, sway control, and brake controller gain. If you're setup, these things will tow!
Details on the setup:
2016 Sequoia Platinum
2016 Gulf Stream Kingsport 288ISL (33')
EAZ-Lift WDH, 1000 lbs spring bars, friction sway control
