ENGINEERING INSIGHT

Dual Rear Wheel Trailer Sway Control

Trailer Sway Control is standard on Pickups (SRW/

DRW). Dual Rear Wheel pickups, while not equipped

with AdvanceTrac, provide Trailer Sway Control function

through a yaw motion sensor incorporated into the

vehicle braking system that allows the vehicle to

monitor for trailer sway and to respond by applying

brake force to either of the front wheels or reducing

engine power to help regain trailer control.
