AFAIK Ford hitches have a max of 500# tongue weight (max 5000# trailer weight) when NOT using a WDH. Mine is almost exactly 500# (4000# trailer loaded), so I don't use a WDH and it runs and handles fine. The front end doesn't feel loosy-goosey at all 'cause only about 200# is taken off it (CAT scale). And I got LT truck tires to reduce any rear wheel squirm.
As for sway, not a problem, but that may depend more on the trailer and you.
