Thanks for the advice. It is disappointing that one of the strongest SUV's on the market that has such impressive cargo and tow capacity compared to all the other SUV's still struggle to tow a small travel trailer.
The reason I decided to buy the truck LT tires based on my internet research was for stiffer walls over regular tires. That should help with some sway. The trailer I chose is only 380 lbs tongue weight dry. Much less than any other trailer over 20' long.
I hear you about your disappointment in the capabilities of your SUV. I felt the same way when I was facing a similar issue. For years I resisted going to a pickup. I loved me my SUV's. But when I began to realize that the "super crew cab" (or whatever other manufacturers call it) has MORE passenger space in the back seat than the SUV's I had been using, I was shocked. My truck is MORE comfortable for me and my passengers than my SUV's had been, and with a tonneau cover on the bed, I can carry gear that I do not want exposed to the elements. Now I am loving my truck!
