trailer sway is mostly caused by too much weight behind the trailer axles .
heavy tongue weight will eliminate sway .
payload capacity of the tow vehicle will determine how much tongue weight you can have .
so , the comfortable riding suv probably will be limited in payload .
what seems to work the best are crew cab and extracab pickups , especially an f250 , gmc hd2500 , and ram 2500.
you can load them up with gear and carry a 15 % tongue weight .
plus the brakes on an hd2500 , f250 , or 2500 ram are humonguous compared to an f150 .
go to the tire shop and compare the brakes on an hd 2500 to the brakes on an f150 .
it is very obvious in a side by side comparison .
F250 or similar is way overkill for a 23 foot trailer. Period.
