I wanted to share this with anyone who has worried about their setup. This explanation from down under is well done.

Bottom line is don’t try to get too close to towing limits for your setup, and understand how to break down a sway issue

    Thank you so much, @qhumberd
    Very informative! Experiencing sway is my biggest fear, being new to towing.

    Great video! Thanks for posting! One thing I would note, both of the crash vehicles shown in the footage were going faster than traffic... Keep your speed down and stay safe!
