1999 Toyota 4Runner — trailer is within ratings but feels nervous in crosswinds

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 1999 Toyota 4Runner before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 1999 Toyota 4Runner owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Was this after sitting overnight?

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 1999 Toyota 4Runner, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. No need to make it theatrical. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 1999 Toyota 4Runner in Denver, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork.
