New truck, New trailer, TONS of sway!

I looked up your TT and it's 35 feet long with a rear bunk house and rear outside kitchen, and comes in (empty) at over 8100 pounds. You're towing with a 150. I'll be honest and the first one say it plain out... too much trailer for your truck. No matter what you do, more than likely you'll never solve the trailer sway. That trailer has a lot of tail weight. Your truck is a single rear wheel. You're going to get sway with that set up. Simple ... you need a heftier truck. It's that simple.

Try towing with that 250 and you'll see a world of difference.

That trailer is 35'10" long! ALMOST 36 FEET!!!!!!!!!! It is 11'4" tall. It has a 920 hitch weight with about a 10,000 GVWR. Very light tongue weight that compounds the problem. That is a gigantic trailer, catching a lot of wind and exerting tremendous forces on your light duty truck. Until you tow it with a 2500 or 3500 series truck, even a dually, you will always be towing a dangerous set up with your 1500 series truck.

YOU NEED ANOTHER TRUCK OR ANOTHER TRAILER!

The truck is good for 10,700 pounds, so I know I am at the higher end of my truck's capacity, but still within it, especially with the trailer completely empty

After your experience towing that beast with your ecoboost, you still think this? Your truck isn't as good as you think it is. Note: airbags won't help.

And guess what? Your towing it empty with no passengers in your truck - it's going to get worse. I wouldn't transport my family in that setup.

Do some research on payload. Your truck can PULL a flat trailer with 10,700 lbs. The more important question is what can it carry?

Whoever sold you that TT for your TV should be arrested.

Good luck.
