OK, OK OK don't get excited about my subject title. It was just a grabber !!!
We've got a 22' Airstream TT (5000GVWR) and pull it with a F-150 5.4L (Max 7800) & weight distributing hitch but no stabilizer bar between the hitch and the trailer.
The trailer tows easy and straight, except when on the highway when being passed by big rigs (18 wheeler types). I'm finding that as the trucks approach from the rear and begin to pass, the air pressure pulls the trailer and F-150 toward it.
My question is, would a stabilizer bar make any difference? If so, how and why? If not, thanks anyway.
For now, I'm keeping a sharp eye out in my outside mirrors and holding tight and steady when the big rigs approach.
Thanks,
FT
