- coolbreeze01ExplorerI like Blue Ox Sway Pro. Check them out while you are shopping.
- 09KZMXT266ExplorerThanks all, but I went a different direction. I ordered an Andersen no-sway WDH. Very excited to get it and try it out. Thanks again for all the advice.
- DutchmenSportExplorerLink to Anderson.
I've never seen this type of system before. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. - Ron3rdExplorer III

There's a growing number of Anderson users out there. Let us know how it works out for you once you set it up. - 09KZMXT266Explorer

I'll do that. I'm sure it will do just fine if it's half as good as forum members and the online info I saw says it is. My toy hauler fully loaded really is only about 5000#. The hard part about my setup is how to deal with the tongue weight when my payload rating on the F150 FX4 is only 1199#. Having the TW take up most of that doesn't leave a lot of room for anything else. One of the things I like about the Andersen is it's less on the TW since it only weighs 55#. :) - AtleeExplorer III used the Anderson hitch when I had my HiLo trailer. I liked it. It was simple to operate, simple to install. My biggest complaint was I had to undo the nut on each side each every time I hitched and unhitched. My other complaint was when I unhitched at an angle. If the angle was too large when I unhitched, it was hard to rehitch it latter, if I didn't back in at nearly the same angle.
I think you will like the way the Andersen Hitch works.09KZMXT266 wrote:

Thanks, but I opted for the Andersen No-sway WDH system instead of the Equal-I-zer system.
Amazon said it shipped today, so hopefully I get it before I leave on my trip next week. - Ov3r_9000ExplorerFirst off, the Equal-i-zer hitch works great. I tow with one currently. However, once the paint wears off the weight distribution bars. You will hear the most God awful “Nails on a chalkboard” sound you have ever heard. The first time it happened to me. I had to take the bars off when I arrived at the campground. It was extremely embarrassing. I did make one mistake though. When I bought my new TT the hitch was setup to and empty truck and trailer. I did not touch the hitch after that. I have since loaded the TT with everything I thought I would take with me, and also loaded the truck. Then, I setup the hitch again. I also purchased the bracket jackets for the L-brackets. The noise is almost completely gone. I am now able to drive into the campground without waking the dead.
Equal-i-zer tells you that the jackets will reduce the amount of sway control, but I have not noticed any difference in the amount of sway control. - Community Alumni

Curiosity question, why the Andersen?
