Sway control needed when pulling TT with DRW?

[partimcmpr]

I am currently pulling a tongue-heavy travel trailer with a SRW/2500HD. If I upgrade to a DRW/3500HD, will I need to use sway control or weight distribution? Or will the higher payload and wide stance of the DRW handle the TT?

The gross trailer weight is close to 11,000 total with a TW of about 1650. The weight puts my 2500HD right at the GVW, front and rear axle weight OK.

What I really want to know, is what should I expect if I were to upgrade to a DRW/3500HD and would I still need to deal with sway control and weight distribution.

Thanks in advance!

Youre going to get a lot of opinions on this. Yes, that's a lot of truck for the trailer, and techincally by the numbers you should be fine towing with or without a WD hitch.

As far as sway, a sway event that crops up as the perfect storm will toss your truck like a 1/2 ton if it hits you right. I've seen one in person and I'm here to tell you, you're along for the ride, and that's all. Best to be prepared when that day comes, that's my .02.
