Sway bar recommendations for 2019 Tundra Dbl can SR5

I just purchased a travel trailer and I'd like to know if anyone has a recommendation on which anti-sway bar I should be purchasing. The trailer we bought has a dry weight of 5326lbs and it's 26'6" in length. It has tandem axles. My truck is a 19' SR5 double cab 4x4 with the factory towing package. The dealership recommended the Blue Ox Sway Pro which costs $800, to prevent trailer sway. It'll support up to a 20k trailer. I was reading about various sway bars on different forums and found that having too large of a sway bar is bad for both the truck and trailer. The forums say if a sway bar is too large for the trailer weight, it will make handling and the ride less comfortable, and it will damage the trailer tongue over time. This is our first travel trailer so we are pretty much clueless about what sway bar is really appropriate for our truck and trailer. The dealership didn't even ask about our towing vehicle when recommending the Blue Ox Sway Pro; kinda like the Sway Pro is a one-size fits all. Any help will be greatly appreciated !

 

A weight distribution hitch is what you need. It will spread the weight to prevent sag and will also control sway. I will post 2 links. One explains how a WDH works and the other will be a link to the one that I have. RV dealers will recommend an expensive or overpriced setup because many of them sell them. I use the one that I linked below. They are easy to set up. Plenty of us here have them so we can help answer your questions.

Thank you Tundra 234! I'll check it out.

 

No problem at all.

 

I use the Andersen No-Sway. Not the cheapest, but easy to set up and no grease.

Their customer service and product support are great. When they upgraded their design, I called and asked about it. They sent me two of their new design hitches and prepaid labels to send my old ones back all free of charge.

 

Thank you Windsor! I'll check it out too.

 

I would also add that using either airbags or sumo springs can heavily reduce truck lean in corners and overall squat. These are generally DIY install and 250$ for sumos for example. WDH is a good idea as well and would compliment the airbags/sumos too.

 

I also have an Andersen hitch and prefer it to the other trunion and spring bar types that I’ve used. It does what they say it does, and does it well, IMO. I think it is more versatile when it comes to different trailer weights, too.

I also agree about airbags; I’ve run them for several years on my truck and can’t imagine not having them any more. Not only do they take the sag out, but they make for a mix more stable towing and hauling experience. I plumbed mine with separate valves for the left and right bags to help mitigate sway even more.

 

Thanks to all. I appreciate all the suggestions!

 

There are only 2 manufacturers out there with the ABSOLUTE best sway control and weight distribution hands down. They would be Pro Pride or Hensley. I have a Hensley hitch and I am towing a 27' 6000#TT my truck is a 2020 SR5 TRD Sport. In my opinion these 2 products are the best money can buy. Yes they are very expensive but trust me when I tell you they are well worth every penny. You can't put a price on safety. I had the Blue OX and I hated it, my TT swayed like a sailboat. Switched the a Hensley hitch and the TT has been rock solid. I don't enev know the TT is behind me. I felt so comfortable with the Hensley I took a 2500mile round trip from Rhode Island to canada and smiled the whole time towing.

 

Thanks Catmann. I appreciate the recommendation.
