[A/S] Towing vehicle - wheelbase issue



I am in the market for a 21' Globetrotter and want to tow it with a 
new Land Rover.  The Rover has plenty of power and towing capacity, 
but the wheelbase is only 113", which is about the same as a Ford 
Explorer.

I have seen comments that the Explorer wheelbase was not adequate even 
for a smallish (17'-20') trailer and resulted in excessive swaying, 
even when equipped with sway bars.  I would really appreciate any 
thoughts, experiences, comments.
