I have a Nissan Titan XD with a Cummins 5.0 diesel motor. We have a 26ft TT with w dry weight of 5900 lbs. The truck pulls that trailer no problem. I installed a 40 gallon auxillary tank in the bed. The stock tank is 26 so that gives me 66 gallons. I get between 10 and 12 mpg towing, 20 to 26 solo. So even at 10mpg I have a range of over 600 miles between fill ups. Plus with the aux tank,I can use the truck stops with the larger nozzles because the aux tank has a larger fill than the stock tank. As to the sway issue,I have found either trailers sway or they don't unless you really have something set up wrong like not enough tongue weight. The only trailer i ever had with a sway problem was the first one we had, a Shasta. After that I bought Sunlines until the went out of business and now we have a keystone Cougar. No sway issues at all.
