If the trailer is loaded properly you should not need a sway bar.
If it was me I would try it first before I invested in a sway bar.
since i am new to towing i don't know what is typical/reasonable/usual. i did have a significant head wind returning home and overall driving wasn't too disconcerting. i have taken my foot off the gas if i feel sway (a little rocking back and forth?) and then accelerate again. but i am told the Trailer Stability Assist of my Ascent will grab at the opposite wheel. also on the return home there was a significant gust that i felt car/trailer "pushed" over but didn't feel any sway such as the rocking i described. so again just not sure what i should expect and looking for / appreciating any insight. i think i agree, i will hold off getting sway bars for now.
