Hey Equalizer people, which one should I get?

I think I want to order an Equalizer WDH, and wonder which one...

I tow with a 2013 F150 Ecoboost with payload of 1200#.

My toy hauler weighs 5k to 6k depending with a GVWR of 7k

Tounge weight is around 800#.

Do I get the one rated at 10k, 12,or 14k?

Thanks....

First you need real weights and not just WAGs, SWAGs, Hopefull #s, etc. which your 5k to 6K and especially you total guess of the TW being "AROUND 800#" all are. Until you have real numbers you might as well take a guess at a WDH rating of say 12 and hope it is right.

Then the 1/10k is fine

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.

Curiosity question, why the Andersen?

Someone recommended it and it looked interesting. I did some research and decided I liked it. I used it on a 1400 mile trip and really like it. Very, very quiet. You cannot hear anything at all. No sway, and many times I forgot I was towing. Never have to grease anything either, so it's clean. I like that it's light weight too at about 55#.

Larry, The amounts I stated were based from memory of real weights from last year when I probably weighed 20 times between two trucks. That's why I used vague language. My trailer weighs right at 5,000# loaded. Tongue weight I can't remember exactly. Anyway, I bought the Andersen No-sway hitch, so it's all irrelevant now.

Thanks for the reply.
