Yes Chance, I agree that a toad would typically have less of the bad movement of a typical TT. However the movement of being "towed" will still definitely be present and it is amplified by "lengths". Multiple lengths become a factor; TV wheelbase, TV overhang behind rear axel, hitch to front of Toad first axel, etc... bla'bla ... not worth the physics... A 5th wheel could have less side-to-side movement in the back than a Toad but most certainly less than a comparable TT because the pivot is at or near the TV rear axel.

Towed is towed regardless of TT, 5th or Toad. Generalities like this are when it's important to know what or how amplified those forces/movements are and that depends completely on the combination. A short wheelbase motorhome with long overhang pulling a toad with a hitch rack off the back would see vastly more side-to-side movement than a 40' with the same rear over-hang distance pulling the same toad & rack.
