Towing with a 4Runner or Explorer---experiences, please!

Those 2 vehicles are on my short list of desired tow vehicles for a small travel trailer. I'm aware of the tow ratings, limitations, etc. No need to belabor those points. Just wanting someone's personal, practical experiences.

What kind of sway control/WD system do you use?
Specific problems/issues you've had?
Things you really like?
How well does the tranny cooler work?

That sort of thing, and any other helpful details, will be greatly appreciated.

Are we talking new explorers and for runners or a particular model year range for each? It will make a big difference in your answer
