As in most forums, if you throw out the extremists on either side of an issue, you might find some truth in between. I understand the limitations of the Andersen hitch and it is a very good product for me. I hope we hear from some new folks. We did in dennysemn's case.
There aren't any "extremists". Vehicle manufacturers require weight distribution. Anti-sway is optional. This is not in dispute.
Mischaracterizing those involved, or the issue in play, is unworthy of what is at stake.
A hitch that provides only good anti-sway is not a recommendation of this hitch versus competitors if it cannot meet the basic requirement of a WD hitch.
As time goes on we may have a picture of what vehicle type and what trailer TW may be a good match for it IF other concerns -- all legitimate -- about how well this hitch is secured, etc, can be answered. It will be a short list, that seems certain (short of a re-design).
"Can't meet the basic requirement" is an enormous problem. All of us like the idea of a lightweight, low-effort hitch, quiet hitch with decent anti-sway. But this is one that cannot, at present, be called a WD hitch (except for a sub-set of TV & TT not yet defined). It's virtues are completely outweighed by that deficiency.
