Hitch SetUp Question for new TT

I'm guessing since you say you have just purchased, your only trip has been home with it so you don't know how the truck would handle it. I'm not a fan of long TT's because of how challenging it can be to get the hitch angle, proper weight distribution while loading the trailer. I've never owned one but a buddy I used to camp with had challenges, mostly based off the water tanks location and his loading of the inside. Not dumping his tanks and not being careful about weight distribution caused his trailer to be more susceptible to sway and give him white knuckle rides on occasion.

Might be overkill (and I'm not telling you my way is the ony choice) but I think I side with the folks that suggest something like an Equalizer hitch or some other brand that has built in sway control vs. a second friction bar. Might just be I'm over sensitive to safety and clean shorts but after towing something (Two horse trailers, stock trailers, gooseneck trailers, popup's and TT's) for 35 years and having my share of scary sway situations, I don't want anymore, even if it costs me a few bucks. Besides, I go camping with my family and friends in my truck usually and have to be concerned with their safety as well.

Good Luck in making the decision that's right for you.
