Do I need a sway bar?

Just wondering if sway bars would have helped in this situation?
  • Like Jeff Foxworthy says, "You just can't give a redneck money. They're gonna do something stupid with it." :) :)
  • The TT manufacturers are all building cheap carp and they are all going to fall apart no matter how you treat them. They're probably using Chinamaster tires and having blowouts. Their dealer probably said no sway bar needed and you can tow with anything.

    All y'all's TTs are gonna end up like that one day. :D

    I have the Startcraft 14R/T OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer and it pulls just fine with my F150 Truck. My truck has the built-in sway control however. The trailer specs says 4200lbs. Your Trailmanor probably is rated higer than that... I never did weight it but it is always loaded down pretty good...

    OOPS I just now looked at your link... Disregard my post....

    A frontal lobotomy is the only thing that would help these drivers & trailers:)
  • Probably wasn't loaded properly or had too much payload. Lol
