Question:
I have the Sway Pro from Blue Ox to use with my 2022 Ford Ranger includes towing package and am pulling a 2021 Winnebago Micro Minnie 1700bh. I still have swaying especially on highways, when large trucks pass by and winds. Do you have any recommendations?

Expert Reply:
Weight distribution can help reduce sway when towing but it does not always stop all of it. The best solution would be to move any weight in your trailer forward to increase the tongue weight and also make sure the trailer is sitting as level as possible.
Or you could go with the Curt True Course sway control part # C94VV which has a sensor that can detect when your trailer is swaying and applies enough brake to stop it.
