I think Larry in the post above has covered it. I have never used sway control of any kind. Granted, my current truck (F-150 super-cab) has a long wheelbase which mitigates sway. But for years we towed with an Explorer, which has a MUCH shorter wheelbase (about 114"). A Tacoma will have a wheelbase of either 127" or 140" depending on the bed configuration - considerably more than the Explorer. And a Tundra will be even longer than that. I wold not hesitate to use either vehicle even if it had no sway control at all.

In our Explorers, we have been in every conceivable sway-inducing situation, and neither my wife nor I (we each drive about half the time) have ever felt sway. Quite simply, TMs are built not to sway! As Larry pointed out, it works.

Again I am with Larry on the issue of a WDH.
