Recommendation For Sway Control When Towing a 2018 Forest River NoBo 16.5 Travel Trailer
Question:
I have a 2018 Forest River NoBo No Boundaries 16.5. Dry weight ~3000lbs., tongue weight 312lbs. with 2inch ball. I tow with a 2019 F-150. I am looking for sway control. What would you recommend please? Thanks..

Expert Reply:
There are really 2 ways you can go with this Bruce. With having such a light trailer if you are not noticing excessive sag on your rear suspension for your 2019 Ford F-150 I would go with the Tuson Trailer Sway Control System # 335TSC-1000. This is an electronic sway system which will activate the trailer brake independently when it starts to detect sway. This is great as then you do not need to add an additional Sway Bar # 83660 which often becomes damaged when having to maneuver the trailer if not removed ahead of time.
If you do notice you are having a bunch of sag on your suspension then the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600 would be the route I recommend. You will need a 2" Ball # EQ91-00-6080 to attach on the hitch.
