No matter how you fudge the numbers, that combination is going to be no fun even on a good day. On a bad day--one with high winds, rain, heavy traffic, hills, etc, it will be even less fun.

You could not be more wrong. My set up doesn't get any more solid until it becomes a real 5th wheel.
I know this is very hard to believe for most people, but I am not exaggerating. 70 mph was my cruise speed, I had no sway or wiggle at any time and mountains were not a struggle at all. I counted 3 times I dropped to 3rd gear and held 55mph thru some of the most mountainous interstates the US has to offer.
BTW, nearly everyone is wrong about the Sequoia's tow ratings.
The Sequoia's top end tow capacity is 9100lbs prior to 2012...when it dropped to 7300lbs via SAE performance test.
GCWR was 16,500lbs and is now 13,600lbs
