I'm late to the topic --- I don't frequent the forum much any longer. I've been towing a heavy pup with my X for 10 years. As far as power and torque, don't even know the pup is behind me and I can hill climb with ease. Pup is pushing 2800 pounds loaded.

At 300 pounds, still get squat. You'll need a WD hitch. I did not get one but I will be soon.
I've never had problem with sway. I've taken 8 trips across country towing 500 miles a day in heavy rain and 100 degree temps. No issues at all with X or the pup.
