What is your tongue weight? I am looking at a trailer that has a dry weight of about 5500 but the tongue weight is about 900. The 110 has a stated tongue max of 820 but I am wondering if that is a hard number or something to balance with the overall vehicle payload. Will the extra tongue weight compromise the air suspension?

The dealer is wrong. You need the brake controller. All the tow package does is get you the receiver and the 7pin and 4pin connectors to hook up to the trailer. It also adds some software items to PIVI screen. You absolutely need the brake controller if you are towing anything that has a 7 pin connector and/or electric trailer brakes as that is the only way the car will be able to activate the brakes on the trailer. The brake controller is easy to hook up as there is a plug under the steering wheel on the left hand side, just plug your chosen brake controller into it and then adjust the controller as needed for your trailer.
Dealer staff are not necessarily well informed about all of the nuances and options.

Several manufactures sell sway control systems that are independent of weight distribution systems. Though an electronic system is integrated into the Defender, I prefer an external system. I use eaz-lift and depending on your needs, you can get one or two devices. (https://www.eaz-lift.com/collections...d-driver-side_
