I guess I'm spoiled

Although I have been towing for over 30 years, the last ten being the Escape 19, I have never towed with an SUV until today. After installing the Prodigy P3 brake controller in my son's 2021 Ford Explorer, we went for a little test ride. The Explorer did well, and I've got the Prodigy about dialed in. So the big question is do we need sway control on this rig? I didn't really notice any sway...just a little jiggle, and bounce I guess, but I know I'm spoiled. It seems to sit level.

I'm also wondering if I might do better with softer tires. We were running about 46psi on the E19. No, I don't know what my hitch weight is. Propane, and two 6v batteries up front. Waste tanks were empty. Water about 1/2.

Just not sure what to expect.

We just got back from about 3500 miles of towing with the 2023 Ford F150 Powerboost.
