So i just went from a 14 crew FX2 3.5 with 3.31 and towing package to a 2015 crew 3.5 MAX Tow with 3.55's. This should handle my trailer better right?

My 14 pulled it pretty good. Swayed some but was manageable. I'm hoping my 15 Max Tow has some improvements to help with that. I have a wdh already.

What type of improvements are you looking for? Pulling power? Stability?

What are the payload differences (yellow sticker on driver's door) on the two trucks?

Per the photo, your WDH is not properly adjusted to distribute enough weight off the rear axle. Or else your WDH is too weak to do the job.


That trailer has GVWR of 7,600 pounds. Wet and loaded tongue weight should be 950 to 988 pounds. Does your F-150 have enough payload capacity to handle up to 988 pounds of tongue weight, along with the people and stuff in the truck without exceeding the GVWR of the truck?

Only 2 people in truck. 400lbs everything else goes in the trailer.

I didn't get a pic of the other trucks door sticker before trading it to compare.

The problem you had and STILL have is that the trailer is too long for your truck. . . .

There is no way that trailor is to long for the truck, trailor only has c rated trailor tires that's a pretty light weight rv 35 feet is bumper and tongue that trailor is a 31 foot box should be about a perfect length, unless like every one on here says my 05 handles my premeir excellent it's a 34 foot bike 37 over all, but I've read a few post by guys saying the 04-08 handled there trailors better than the newer trucks I've yet to pull with my 15 as its payload by door sticker is almost 1900 lbs way higher than my 05 over 500 lbs higher funny my 05 came with light truck tires as my 15 has passenger tires so I know that want help but I'm one that goes by how the truck handles the load and I couldant be happier how it handles the weight

I think the only way you will get an improvement with sway on that long a trailer would be a WDH with better sway control.

What do you have now?

Perhaps a Propride or Hensley would help.

Stiffer LT tires could help a bit as well.

With a lighter F150 than before you can expect more sway than before. A friction hitch such as the Equalizer can only do so much. A 25-30 mph wind gust against the side of that trailer will blow you all over the road. You either need a hitch like the Hensley that moves the tow point towards the front of the truck or get a fifth wheel trailer if you want one that long
