Re: Trailer sway

Thanks for all the good feed back, I will try making some changes to tire pressures on my August trip to the Texas hill country and see what happens. I did take my truck by discount tire in Corpus Christi TX to have them look at the Michelin's on my truck, and after some dickering and them calling t...

Re: Trailer sway

Maybe the issue is with the front tire pressure on the truck, I run them about 70 - 75 psi when towing the rv and 80 in the rear. I bought the Goodyear G114's @ truckandtrailertires.com and they recommended running them at 115-118 psi so I run them around 117 psi. Just noticed yesterday that both Mi...

Re: Trailer sway

Thanks for all the good feedback guys, I will try these things out in August when I head to the Texas hill country. The hitch is new but the new Fords come with the bed pre rigged for the reese elite hitch. I just drop it in and lock it down.

Re: Trailer sway

My pin box does not have an air bag on it, it is a trailair but no air bag. Also i do not carry fresh water on board. Maybe I should slow down a little bit to 60-65 mph. I sure don't want to drop another 65K on a dually.

Re: Trailer sway

I have air bags on the truck and it and the trailer ride pretty level. I run the factory Michelin 20" tires at 80 psi on the rear and about 75-78 on the front. And no it's not time for a dually, these things are to $$$$$$$ :cry: The truck only has 12,000 miles on it so the tires on both rigs ar...

Trailer sway

I am pulling a 2013 3450RL with a 2011 F-350 king ranch SRW and the trailer seems to sway quite a bit while going down the road @ 65-70 mph even with relatively low winds. My question is, is the trailer loaded incorrectly or is there other issues. I did upgrade tires and rims to Goodyear G114's for ...
