I have a question for those of you with 1,000+ lbs of TW. Are you setting the hitch up any differently ( ex: nose of TT up a bit??)
I purchased an Anderson last year and loved the anti sway. Last year we drove from MN to CO to Grand Canyon. We hit high winds numerous times and I felt the Anderson greatly improved sway control over the Equalizer brand I previously had.
However the one issue I had was that I could not move enough weight off my drive axle.
On our return trip I actually had one of the bushings explode in Iowa. Anderson replaced it but I have not put the anderson back on and have been using the Equalizer (which is a pain to hitch and unhitch).
I am driving an Excursion and my TT is a Sabre 30BHDS and has a loaded tongue weight of about 1,100lbs. This spring a rep at Anderson told me the heavy rear end of the X along with the heavy TW just may not be a good fit for the Anderson. I was bummed because after using the Anderson, it's hard to go back to the Equalizer.
