I was going thru the system menus the other day and noticed that there is a setting for trailer sway control (on or off). Does any one know how that works? Anyone used it and have a review?

Its basically a computer controlled system....when the system detects the trailer beginning to sway, the computer directs individual brakeing to selected wheels to slow/stop the sway.
I had it on my previous 2021 Ranger and my 2019 current Expy has it. When towing our travel trailer I have not used it as my set up includes a weight distributing hitch with a sway control. If in doubt, depending on your hitch set up, you may want to engage it especially if your towing a trailer with just a hitch ball without a weight distributing set up.

TY. I will be taking a trip shortly and found a trailer that im interested in at that location that i hope to look at provided it isnt sold by then. Its a bit longer than anything i have towed and i will need to traverse a high traffic city (NYC/Newark NJ) area to get it on the road home and it is at least a 6+ hour haul home up and down some very hilly terrain thru pennsylvania. I have a heavy enough hitch but no sway control.
