Anyone has experience towing a trailer with a car with the trailer sway mitigation installed?

I used to tow a DG 800 with a single axle trailer with a 4 Runner and found it got to be quite a adventure. Any rapid turning would end up with a sway side to side. I now tow with a Range Rover with 20" wheels with low profile tires. The difference is night and day. IT was easy to understand the the major difference is the tires. The 4 Runner had a high profile tire that flexed if you pushed side to side on the rear of the car. The low profile tires have virtually no sidewall flex. The suspension in the 4 runner was solid with great sway bars, they however could not over come the flexing in the tire sidewalls. In the Rover I can easily go any speed I desire with zero sway and can change lanes at will. Push your car sideways at the rear and observe what you see. Any motion will reveal why you have sway. I have seen many work arounds with friction tuning to dampen sway, but none work better than addressing the root cause.
