Leaf springs ride firmer then coils ,if you were to lower the ride quality of the coil vehicle by fitting heavy coils you could match the leaf spring towing ability. Sway has a lot to do with overhang , the distance {leverage ratio} from the towball to the diff. It also has a lot to do with trailer ...

Urgent: what to look out for in a 2001 model V6 Triton

Looking at a v6 Glx dual cab, what are their faults? what are they like on fuel,, we are looking at using it as a everyday car and a tow car for a car trailer,, not a serious off roader, will only see dirt roads and occasional light off road

Its got a few Km,s on it,, but im paying $16500
