In my limited experience your truck such be ok. Most sway can be directly related to hitch weight. My brother with his Ranger pickup towed a trailer with a mini excavator within 100 lbs of the max tow rating for the little truck. The first time he got to the highway he never got 1 mile before we pulled over to the side. Removed the straps on the excavator and moved it forward approximately 1 foot and re-secured the excavator. pulled back onto the highway and finished our 2 hour one way trip without any hint of sway. He kept the same setup for another 3 years before upgrading to a F150 5.0 supercab.
All this said the biggest cause of sway is usually related to not enough tougue weight. My brother drives commercially and at that time had more than 10 years driving tractor trailers.
Good luck on getting everything setup.
