Again, both vehicles have brake controllers and similar hitch heights that should increase tongue weight. But, lately had transitioned to my 2002 F-150 Super Crew which has a 4.6 V8. I had been pulling the pup with a 2001 Jeep Limited which has the V8 engine and factory towing package. If the unit gets loose any amount, I hit the electric brake and control down from 65 mph to 50 mph or below. I really have to tighten down on it with a wrench to maintain safe control at high speed. I do have a friction control sway bar that came with the camper. Although I have tried to mitigate the problems by lowering my hitch to slightly below level, not carrying any water in the storage tank, and increasing weight in the front storage box which have improved the situation, I still have the dog wag thing occurring. The later models redistributed the weight by moving the kitchen galley and doorway in front of the axle. I have a earlier model Coleman Fleetwood Utah popup camper that has sway issues. Your Jeep will pull it, but won't like it!
