Just bought a new 33IK Silverback and using a Curt Q25 hitch.

Trailer is 37' total length and a GVWR of 14K. Pulling with a 2017 GMC 1 ton SWB Diesel.

On the way home I noticed chucking. I'm thinking about either a Morryde or a Trail-Air hitch pin.

I'm looking for real world experience and not opinions.

Thanks for your input.

I have the Curt hitch in my 2016 Ram 3500. I recently purchased a 2006 Mobile Suites equipped with a Trailair pin box. The combination does not work well together. Chucking is so bad it will sometimes lock up your seatbelts. Cause is the combination of the Trailair pivoting lower jaw moving the Curt hitch head which has a low pivot point. Vertical motion of the Trailair jaw pivot point causes horizontal motion of the hitch head pivot point jerking the truck back and forth. Another RVer in my camping club has a Curt hitch and the MORryde pin box and tells me he tows smoothly.

A cure my Son for your towing woes!

Problem with going to the MORryde is only controls fore and aft, the TrailAire controls up and down. Mine has the TriGlide for for and aft. I towed our 18K 36' MS with B&W and TrailAire no TriGlide and it towed very well.

Notice the B&W pivot point is at the same elevation as the kingpin. CURT is several inches below causing the head to move fore and aft.
