| Description of the problem | When towing trailer with 2007 ford f250sd, truck sways almost uncontrollably at highway speeds. Never had this problem towing same trailer with former vehicle. Had into dealer in ocala, fl, they also noticed sway problem. Called ford engineer in for opinion. Test drove and ford engineer on site said it was "normal operation". Have equalizers on hitch. Hooked same trailer to new '08 f250sd at dealer and test drove with no sway... Put back on my truck and i'm all over road. Just waiting for something more severe to happen... |
