If a pickup had/has the same features the MB suv has from an anti sway etc setup, then they would be every bit as equal as the European SUV's! Until that time comes, then for smaller trailers, these SUV's are killer. For larger trailers, one is stuck with the heavier duty light duty trucks.
I would also agree that ninerbikes has a setup issue with the trailer. He should not have had any issues with those side winds, unless it is his issue, not the rig as a whole. I've driven in 30-50 mph sidewinds. Yeah, a bit interesting, I did slow a bit depending upon the winds, how they were hitting etc, but nothing to say I felt out of control per say. Altho it is a bit interesting when one gets moved a whole lane buy a side gust, as I did going across I205 from Portland to Vancouver with what was probably a 60-80 mph gust. I was not the only rig that moved 1/2 to a full lane either!
