I would suggest a sway bar if you are going to be towing the TM in the mountains and winding roads. I live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and there is virtually no sway at all using the sway bar when I tow through the mountains. Also if you have an overdrive transmission I have found out that on level gound it is all right to use your transmission in overdrive. When climbing steep grades and descending them I take my Mountaineer out of overdrive and it does great. I tow with a 2000 V8 Mercury Mountaineer.
