We have a 2922KS pulled by a Chev Colorado. We use an Anderson hitch. We no longer mount 2 bicycles on the back of the trailer, I think it adds some weight shift. We usually drive at 65pmh, sometimes 70. There is usually no sway induced from trucks coming up behind. We DID have sway events at 65mph. Not fun. Wasn't windy, seemed to be big truck induced or while passing. Shane suggested our chains may have been set too tight. [I wish there was a torque setting to adjust but I don't know one.] So now I tighten up pretty tight and then back off a turn. I measure/match the bumper height before and after connecting. Trailer tire pressure has always been 60psig, it reaches 65psig on the road. Truck is a bit higher than the 35psig recommended - 38psig once you get on the road. We always travel with fresh tank empty. Battery is in the back, in locker.
