sway control requirements
I am trading for a 25 ft mini lite. My tv is a F250 crew cab with a 6.2l gas motor The tongue weight is about 600lb . Will I require a WD hitch and will I require sway control.

This is a topic that I'm still back and forth on. I have a 2016 F-150 Super Crew 4x4 with 3.5L Ecoboost V6 and tow package. I have only pulled my JF X213 TT from the dealer to my home so far, but that was 150 miles on the freeway in a 25-30 mph crosswind (in other words a typical eastern Colorado day). It towed effortlessly with no WDH. That doesn't mean that I have no plans to get one, but I want to try a couple of short trips next spring before I make the investment.
Since I was towing with full propane tanks and battery but no water or other gear, it probably wasn't a fair test. Factory spec for tongue weight is 420 lbs, and the LP tanks have already run that up a bit. My truck is only rated for 500 lbs. That's my biggest concern. I think that the actual towing isn't really going to be an issue.
