I pull a Coleman 274BH that's 28' with a Platinum SCREW SB and a Blue Ox. Sway? What's that? An HDPP will have no issues with what you posted either.

I pull the same size trailer that is also just under 7,000 lbs dry with no issues. For years I was a tech at an rv dealer and installing hitches was an everyday thing. The key is to have the trailer sitting as level as possible while it's hooked to the truck and proper air pressure in the tires. If your truck squats so be it but the trailer needs to sit level to minimize sway. If you decide to add airbags afterwards to level the truck you will need to adjust the hitch height to keep the trailer level...this also avoids wearing out the tires prematurely. A good all in one distribution/sway hitch is the way to go, they hook up quick and easy and the sway control is great! I use a Husky 31390 distribution system, the trailer doesn't even sway as a semi passes me...it does want to get sucked in and pushed out but no sway.

F175...We towed the same TT ('07 Cougar 29RLS) with an '04 F-250 6.0 for 6 years & pertnear 30,000 miles and had the same experience. WIND. Same Husky Centerline w/ a friction sway bar. It was a big sail behind the trucks. In fact I felt more comfortable towing it with the 150, but still the friggen wind. Had the hitch dialed in perfectly on both trucks cuz when it was clam, no major breezes, both trucks pulled it with ease.
With the 5'er, we 're using a Pullrite slider. Tell ya, it's a big ... big difference pulling the 5'er. So far wind hasn't had an effect on the towing, not like it did with the TT. Now, we'll be goin down the hiway & DW will say, " is that the wind I hear", Yep... We can hear it but don't feel it like we did with the TT. Now if we get a major gust from the side, we'll feel a little push, but nothing like the feeling of headed for some off roading.

My sundance xlt 283rb is 34' and the truck does fine. yeah, when there is a cross wind you will feel it, but so does the semi in front of you. I have a reese dual cam hitch and it seems to handle the trailer fine, but i do have to run a bunch of tension on the bars.

I have a 2018 E.B. 4X4, 3.5, XLT 6.5 HDPP, 2,475 lbs payload. I'm within all specs and capacities.

Towing a 37 ft. 8,400 lbs dry, 9,900 lbs max travel trailer using a 1,500 lbs Blue Ox. Sway Pro.

The HDPP tows and handle the rig stable and no issues with big rigs. I sometimes get a push as it comes past the truck, but no pull as it passes, and never had any any sway or problems with trailer moving around in my lane.

I have never towed with less than 1/2 freshwater tank, andit tows great. I've towed with full tanks, and it tows fine, but you can feel the water sloshing around, but you can feel the lightness when the tanks have less water.

Thirty mph winds are my limits, and even then, I'm still moving around less than semis, as they causes me more concern than the wind. It is to be noted that I have GY Endurance that I replaced the China bombs with, and I would never tow my TT with less stable tires, because of the increased likelihood of wiggling, wandering causing swaying issues. When I do get movement issues, it is in the form of the whole setup moving as a unit, and not any swaying from side to side.

I would not tow my TT with a Max Tow either.

We have a Hensley arrow and the towing is great you don't feel the trailer at all no push pull say or anything I have had blue ox , Reese dual cam system , equalizer and ez lift . There is no comparison! I would say a Hensley would perform very well with your set up

I wouldn't tow that trailer with anything less than a 3/4 ton either. I have seen wind flip the long trailers over, and only the heavy trucks are able to stay on the wheels, a half ton will flip with the trailer. It's not the weight, it's the size of that sail.

Well, you are much more ambitious and braver than me, because I wouldn't be in a travel trailer, or on the roads in wind that are powerful enough to flip a trailer over in any vehicle.

I would hopefully to think I check the weather forecasts, or had sense enough to stay off the road in inclement weather.

I'm confident with my truck towing my trailer, and as a newbie, I told myself that for 2019, no more 10 and 12 hours towing days, and to break it up.

I'm relaxd and confident while out on the road, but I wouldn't make any suggestions on what you should or shouldn't do, but I can say that my HDPP tows its capacity in a travel trailer just fine.

You might want a 3/4 ton truck for a long trailer, but I don't need one, nor wanted a HD truck, because it would be just too much of a compromise outside of towing versus that 3.5 10 speed E.B.

I pull a 22.8 Lance with my 2013 XLT SCAB and a WDH. I don't get sway, but just a push when a truck passes.
