I answered this a while ago... they have a system that alternates braking each side of the vehicle or trailer (i'm not sure which) to counter act the wag. not sure how the whole thing works in depth... but to me it's for the lazy and the ignorant... too lazy and or ignorant to load the trailer right or know not to brake going buy a semi or in a high wind gust situation... mainly the first.

My dad has a 99 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 7.3L Powerstroke. Its got 220K on it now, with probably 3/4 of those hauling his lawn spraying trailer full of chemicals. It was finally last summer at about 195K that he had to get the bearings fixed in his front wheels. That alone has proven ford to me. My uncle has gone through a couple of dodges and a chevy in the same time frame and sold them all due to problems with em.
