Are you a stock tire pressure or are you running lower?I have no doubt the people and trucks this affects is real but it must only affect a certain number of trucks. I’d find it interesting for someone that has a truck that has bad sway to drive one like mine that doesn’t and flip that for me to drive one with bad sway to see a direct comparison. If there is truly a big difference then it’d be time to start comparing steering link specs and such.
I’ve seen the sway of the tremor mentioned a lot on this forum. The dealer I bought my 2021 f250 7.3 tremor from is 3 hrs away. I had a couple sways in the first 50 miles. My truck had 3.1 miles on it when I got it. I haven’t had any sway since. You can drive my truck down the road with 1 finger and not have any issue. I pulled a 24’ gooseneck deck over 140 miles so far half of that empty the other half around 10k lbs and it handled every bit as well as the 6.7 CTD 2500 it replaced. I’ve driven a few million miles in 3/4 and up trucks and feel like this truck is as stable as any of the others I’ve had.
So when I picked the truck up it had 80psi all around. The door jam calls for 60f 80r. When I got the truck home I adjusted to 60f 70r and have been very happy with it that way. After the first 50 miles home though it still handled perfect even with 80frAre you a stock tire pressure or are you running lower?
I know this conversation may have been covered to exhaustion so my sincerest apologies if it has been to the point of nauseam for you. Having read a lot of the threads here I see that most circumstances are situation dependent. So I thought I would post my situation and questions for those of you with more experience.
About me: I have a coffee company and make videos on the internet to include a lot of fun vehicle builds. Since 1998 I've had 1 F150 Super Cab, 2 F150 Crew Cabs and 2 Raptors. I've towed and hauled a lot but over the last couple years been using my company's 2017 F350 6.7L Super Crew SWD to do most of the hauling. I love it. It's had a lot of modifications from lift, wheels, tires, bumpers, B&W, train horn etc. I have a Sundowner 28' Race Series bumper pull trailer that I towed empty from San Antonio to Colorado Springs and picked up a Tesla Model X. I hauled it from CO to UT to film and back to TX with absolutely ZERO issue. I couldn't believe it. I drove 80 mph at times on the highway with no drifting or sway. I loved it so much I said screw it and ordered a 2022 F350 6.7L Super Crew SWD King Ranch Tremor and it came in this week! I have about 500 miles on it and feel like there is a substantial amount of "float" even without a trailer. I feel there is a lot of play in steering and drift in driving. I hooked up the same trailer and loaded the same car and drove from Austin to San Antonio and was white knuckling the whole way. Going over 65mph was not going to happen. Every time a larger vehicle passed, let alone a semi or box truck, the trailer and truck swayed and drifted hard. I was constantly having to work the trailer brake and I quite literally never used it once on the other truck.
I come to you all with my hat in my hand and am the first to admit my ignorance. With a lot of learning opportunities I know it's better to gain from others experience than it is from your own mistakes. I've seen so much discussed in these forums and honestly, I don't know how to distill it all down to my scenario. So here are are the facts:
- 2022 F350 6.7L SWD King Ranch Tremor (All Stock. 500 miles)
- Front tires: 60 PSI cold Rear tires: 75 PSI cold
- 28' Sundowner Race Series bumper pull trailer: 5800 lbs
- 2020 Tesla Model X: 5300 lbs (no seats)
I haven't modified or added anything so what would you suggest I check or add?
- Add a Equil-I-zer, anti-sway or weight distribution part?
- Specific brand of hitch?
- Any common modifications for Tremors?
- Anything I should remeasure or recheck that I could have over looked?
This Tesla is will probably get a good reaction from people on the internet. You guys are the first to see a glimpse of it haha! This thing is going to be full of coffee and guns soon. It's been a year of fabrication and a steep learning curve about all the sensors in those cars I have about 3/4" on each side of the wheel wells from tire to tire .
Thanks again for all the help in advance. I'm really excited to be part of this community!!!!

Haha! That is true! My Tremor does not ride as nice as my smooth 2018 Raptor, but the Raptor could not carry or tow much of anything. With a 1050 lb of total payload, it was a very fast 5-seat "car" with a bed/trunk that was best left empty.I dropped my PSI to 50/50, and have approx 1700 mi on it. The tracking has improved quite a bit, but still not as good as the '18 Raptor I traded in.
I heard guns. Did someone say GUNS?
I could hang out here and make friends.
I haven't seen where your questions were directly addressed, than again I didn't read every response.I know this conversation may have been covered to exhaustion so my sincerest apologies if it has been to the point of nauseam for you.
