What trailer sway looks like

Speed up, as is giving a bit of throttle to pull and the trailer brakes to hold
back the trailer...that will straighten it up

Then SLOW DOWN and consider either or both better component and adjust them
properly

Glad someone said it! Seen all the post about him not slowing down or break lights and found it funny that the way to get out, is to pull out. Feathering of the brakes is also a must, especially when power is an issues at higher speeds.

That's what a lot of people do not realize, does your truck have the ability to pull your trailer at 70mph is not the huge question, does it have the power to pull you out of trouble is the real question.

I can't tell if he was speeding or not from the video to be honest, I think he reduced speed when the sway hit and that caused him to lose control. Poor setup started it, bad driving finished it!
