Generally putting more weight on the hitch (front of trailer).... One other cause is crap P or car rated tires or none ST tires which don't have the sidewall support required. Whether it is a 2500 or 3500 or 4500 Tow Vehicle has nothing to do with it. Its the trailer where the problem lies and it is 98% of the time weight distribution....

True enough, but sway is also a product of an overloaded tow vehicle as well as poor load distribution in the trailer. When the TV tires strain under overloaded conditions they become squirrely as the side walls of the tires are no longer doing their job correctly which then amplifies trailer sway conditions. So yes, it matters what TV you have as much as your trailer weights and how it is loaded.
