Best Weight Distribution Hitch

Not much has changed in 12 years for WDH. Anderson is a new player in the mid-range with integrated sway control with positive feedback along with Equal-i-zer 4pt, Reese Strait Line, and BlueOx SwayPro.

I am not sure I agree with this. I believe that there are more choices today than ever. A few were mentioned here. What is best for you will be what you will be most comfortable with. Make sure it is matched to the weight of your trailer. Find out how easy, or difficult it is to hitch and unhitch. And most importantly, make sure it is properly set up for both weight distributing and sway control. Buy a hitch that has sway control built in.

I have only used an Equalizer. When I got my first one it was mainly because of how easy it is to hitch and unhitch. The others, at the time, required that you disconnect before backing up and I didn't want to worry about that. I got what I got and have been happy with it ever since. Mine is not loud nor have I had any issues with it what so ever.

Be careful of those who tout theirs as the "best". It is not unlike the individuals who believe in HUGE tow vehicles. Their one tons can pull anything, don't you know? And they don't need no stinkin' weight control, no siree. Sway control is only for wimps too.

I have an Airstream and many owners swear by the HA or PPP hitches. They are the best and they will tell you why. If I had trouble with sway I might look at them but I have never had sway issues in over 50K miles of towing with my half ton. I do know that they weigh a lot. My Equalizer head is heavy too but I don't want to deal with any more. I have personally watched a few folks hook up and 2 of the 3 had a tough time, at least while I was observing. With practice, they say it gets very easy. Mine was easy by the second time I did it.

They all have their pluses and minuses. Like I said earlier, get one that fits your situation the best. Good Luck.
