I have a 24ft enclosed trailer. I carry a 3100lb car,a scooter and a few tools.
I was towing with a Nissan Titan crew cab 1500 5.6 gas engine. It did pretty well but after installing air lift bags and a very heavy hitch with a torsion bar style anti sway system the truck would still take a dive when other vehicles would be about even with the rear of the trailer on the highway. I recently sent the Titan on its way,and bought a 2014 Silverado 2500HD Duramax. It is not a 4X4 but has the Z71 package so it sits up pretty high. I know I will need a drop hitch, and I don't mind using the one I have, but will I need to worry with these damn torsion bars to control sway? |

We use this one but had to buy a bigger drop for the shank. We pull with a 2023 3500 Duramax Dually & have a 34' Vintage bathroom package trailer.
Make sure you have your set-up according to the instructions & it covers your trailer tongue/gross weight. https://proshop.summitracing.com/parts/CHT-17501 |

A Reese "Dual Cam" sway control with a Reese weight distribution hitch to match your tow vehicle and trailer weight is a Very Good system to use when towing enclosed trailers.

Drop some pressure in the air bags and see if that helps the sway problem.
