I will admit that our tow setup wasn't all it could be. I was towing with a Toyota FJ60 Landcruizer (wagon). But, no anti sway equipment whatsoever. The trailer weighed 3600 dry. I couldn't tell you what the tongue weight was. We started out with a Ford F150 that did an awesome job of pulling that trailer. I had added an extra leaf spring in the back and it did really well. Then I went to a 1980 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, the big heavy version made by AMC with a 360 V8, Chrysler 727 transmission and Spicer axles. Wasn't an awesome tow vehicle at all. Then we inherited the Landcruizer, which everyone said was the best truck ever made on planet Earth. It was even worse than the Jeep. It wasn't even as good off road (sand) as the Jeep.
Now we have the Suburban, anti sway, weight distribution, gonna add Timbren suspension very soon. The long wheel base should really do a good job. Won't go longer than 28 feet on a TT. Looking for a 25-28 with a slide. Found a new one I really like the looks of and it's under 6000 pounds with a tongue weight under 500.
