HowieE,
I tow a 30' TT with my X. I have Michelin LTX, stock size, Load Range E.
I have towed without and now with the Hellig swaybar on the rear. I have never had the problems you discussed. I run the camper tires at 50 psi, the maximum on the side walls. I run the rears on the X at 65 psi, which matches up with the maximum rear axle weight for the truck. I have a WD hitch with a friction type anti sway bar on the hitch.
I am really happy with the ride and handling of the Michelins. This set has over 50,000 miles.
The symptoms you describe sounds like a light tongue to me, but could be tire related as well. Maybe you could put an extra few hundred pounds in the front of the camper and see if that helps.
I can't imagine dragging that big a trailer around with a gasser, but if that will make you feel safer, it may be worth it. I won't be giving up my 7.3 anytime soon, it is just breaking in at 225,000 miles.
Maybe you should just drag the whole rig to RV shop and ask them to set the hitch up for your new vehicle.
I have towed with vehicles that are affected by cars and are scary when the big rigs come by. The X isn't like that at all for me.
