Is there a suggested limitation to use of a WD hitch? For example, if your trailer tongue load is too light, and your suspension is stiff, the WD might create more sway than desired. Is there a rough formula for this?
In my particular situation, I have a 2008 Volvo XC90 (max 5000 lb capacity), looking at a travel trailer between 500 and 1000 lb tongue load and between 2000 and 3200 dry weight. I'm assuming both a WD hitch and trailer brakes would be beneficial for this situation, but if it's a very light trailer I don't want to create unnecessary sway.
Please let me know if I am mistaken!
Thanks
