Hey all! I just bought a 2021 Warlock, 4WD, she has the 20 inch wheels, 3.21 rear ( I know), and 5.7. I replaced the tires with E rated all terrains, and had the dealer install the electric brake controller. According to the VIN trailer towing search and the stickers on the door, I have a 1180 lb payload and can pull 8120 lbs. I bought a 28 foot travel trailer, 4750 dry 6500 GVWR, 671 lbs on the hitch.
I got a Curt WDH and got the trailer home tow/haul mode, 5 under limit (75-80 mph here), right lane with zero issues, had a bunch of 18 wheelers pass me and had no sway issues. The Curt hitch has a sway controller (sliding brake pad material type) and a BIG RED NOTE that says to TURN OFF the traction control if I am going to install it.
I was planning to install it when one of my friends that has a 5th Gen Rebel told me his truck will use the traction control sensing to tap the trailer brakes in a sway event.
I was wondering if my truck had the same feature since I had the dealer install the factory brake controller and flash the computer. When I hook up, the display tells me I have the trailer connected and the brake controller set to light electric.
Does anyone know if the 4th Gen will do this?
If I install the sway control and turn off the traction control am I trading one problem for another?
I've towed lots of utility trailers and understand load placement and staying within truck capacities, but this travel trailer is the biggest trailer I have ever towed.
I don't want to end up in a youtube video about what not to do with a trailer
Thanks, Danny
