Thank you, John!

I’ve just been curious over the past few months when questions like this come up, because it seems like the finger gets pointed at weight immediately, and no one brings up trailer length/ wheelbase anymore (probably rightly so, since many have been overloaded). I just took a quick look at wheelbase for a 2020 Tundra CC SB - 145.7”. So, using the rule of thumb for that truck, I get 29’ (technically 28.93’ LOL) length for trailer. Very close to the 30’ actual trailer in this post, but is my math working correctly? Which may also contribute to the sway being seen? Or is that where the bars are supposed to help compensate for a shorter wheelbase? I have no clue, just am curious, since I’ve never towed a TT with a short wheelbase vehicle.
