A trailer sway warning system, according to one embodiment, includes a hitch angle sensor for sensing a hitch angle between a vehicle and a trailer. The trailer sway warning system includes a vehicle sensor for sensing a dynamic parameter of the vehicle, such as a steering angle rate or a yaw rate of the vehicle. Further, the trailer sway warning system includes a controller that generates a warning signal when the hitch angle is oscillating at a magnitude that exceeds a warning threshold and the dynamic parameter is substantially constant.
