If you are not using one of the super-duper hitches, one of the modern challenges is getting the right weight onto the tongue.
I point this out because the TT manufacturers are playing a numbers game when it comes to marketing. So if they balance things so there is "barely" 10% of the weight on the hitch, it avoids looking like the TT is too heavy for many 1/2 ton vehicles (for those actually trying to stay within Payload or Rear Axle limits).
So in my case I have a tongue-light TT combined with a very non-aggressive WDH and that leads to sway challenges (mostly above 60MPH). I'm only going into my 2nd season of towing (over 3,000 miles last year), so I'm still learning.
Best of luck to you and happy camping!
