Have you never driven an overloaded pickup? They wallow from shoulder to shoulder. If that ain't sway, what is it?

Put 2,000 pounds of gravel or 1500 pounds of tongue weight on the back of an old C10 if you don't believe me.

#1. The load is causing the wallow!

#2. Wallow and trailer sway are two entirely different things.

And only a crazy person would tow a trailer with 2000 lbs of tongue weight with a half ton pickup.

Did you read where I stated NOT to go over spec on the pickup you're using?

One more time. Don't go over spec for the truck you're using, get the setup correct, get the hitch weight correct and you won't have any problems with sway.

And while I at it: Wallow is not sway. Wind buffet is not sway and light pickups do not cause sway.

This is trailer sway!
^^^^^ This is a full size Ford pickup. See how it's being yanked all over the road like a rag doll? It has NOTHING to do with the pickup. This trailer set up the same way would push a class 8 truck all over too. Plain and simple, the trailer setup is WRONG!
