well if you are saying "my wife and I are going to get some sway bars for it"
Then I would most likely say that she was towing it without sway control.

And I wonder how you know the truck has sway control as sway control is the bars you add to the hitch.
I think you are referring to the equalizing bars which attach to the hitch head
a sway bar also attaches to the hitch head via a small ball and attaches to another small ball mounted on the side of the trailers A-Frame

When I went to the ford iris I think it is, it was an option that was added because it showed sway control. Unless there's a specific way to turn it on?

look at the second link I posted that is what a sway control unit looks like although there are other types of sway control

Okay thank you so much.

Well as promised here's a picture of our trailer. I'll get one of it hooked up when I leave for the next job.

Hurry up and tell how towing is!

I have a 2006 King Ranch 4x2 with 3.31 ratio. I'm about to buy a Outback Terrain 210TRS 22' 4700lbs TT. Dealer is installing WD w/ sway bars hitch, 7pin w/ for electric brakes with controller. Freaked out i'm gonna burn up my truck but what I read on here I should be okay.

Yes you'll be fine, I didn't physically pull mine but my wife said it pulled it fine with no issues.
