Default F150 Anti-sway

I've read where people are shutting the anti-sway off on their new F150's if they are using hitch sway control. They say the two fight each other causing instability. Anyone here have experience with this? I am using Andersen anti-sway device.

With a good properly-adjusted WD hitch with excellent anti-sway, the electronic anti-sway in the truck should never engage. I've towed thousands of miles with my ProPride hitch and with the anti-sway turned on in my 2012 F-150, and never noticed the Ford anti-sway built-into the F-150 turning on.


I've also towed my cargo trailer with a Reese Strait-Line hitch a few thousand miles, and never noticed the Ford anti-sway turning on.


I suspect anyone needing to turn off the Ford anti-sway system are either towing with a cheap hitch, or else don't have a good hitch properly adjusted to prevent sway.
