Sway & Wind
Hi all, I have a 30' Coleman trailer pulled by F150 Crew Cab 5.5' bed w/ Curt 600 WD & Sway Control System. If not pulling in wind, my rig pulls like a dream, and I have no problem what so ever....

Thanks DutchmenSport. I'm seriously considering upgrading my truck next year to a 3/4 or a 1 Ton. Possibly upgrading the trailer to a 5th wheel.
For those who pull a 5er's, do you ever have issues with wind?
I did when I pulled my smaller 5th wheel with a half-ton. Since I've upgraded both, I do feel cross winds for sure but it isn't a white-knuckle experience. The one time it was a bit of an issue was when my truck's tires were underinflated and I was pulling our new (Sabre) trailer home down in Southern Alberta. Major cross winds down there. Once I inflated my tires properly, it wasn't an issue.
A heavy duty truck with a long wheel base and high-load tires seems to make a huge difference for me. :)
