E2 vs Equalizer vs Blue Ox
I have a decision to make. I currently have a Husky round bar, with 800# bars and a single sway. My older truck which got wrecked, worked perfectly with this hitch and trailer, but my replacement 201...

Money talks in this case. I was able to find a BO for less than the Equalizer. Delivered with shipping and taxes came out to $514. I could not find an Equalizer for that or less.
The Cam is the one thing that I read about a lot, but being prepared for it eliminates surprises. As long as it does what it is supposed to, and keep the trailer locked in, I will be happy with it. Already deal with chains and tip ups with the current hitch, so won't be much different, still have to jack the whole thing up now.
BTW, I may have discovered the reason for the weird oscillations while towing, the steering is the cause. On a smooth road I found that if I jerk the wheel a little to the left, it will pull to the left, and if I jerk it to the right, it will pull to the right. On a bumpy road, this is what it is doing without me jerking on the wheel. I swapped out the wheels and tires that have 68K miles on them with the wheels and tires the truck came with that have 4K on them, one has 20 miles as it was bad, and now it just pulls a bit to the left, probably because I got the pressures wrong when I added air, 42 on the right and 39 & 40 on the left. It no longer will pull to the right if I jerk the wheel, it will still pull to the left.
Hoping it is just that, worn treads on hard tires. The tires I pulled off were Bridgestone Duellers in 20" diameter, and have served me well for 3 years, and were great on the 2014 when towing, and were doing well until recently on the 16. The ones that came on the 16 are the Goodyear Wranglers LT, and they are soft and loud. I don't like the noise or the ride, which is one of the reasons I removed them, first was they had a bad vibrations, hence the tire with 20 miles, the other is I don't like the 18" chrome wheels, and the third, the soft handling.
They will do until I can replace the other tires.
