I'm looking at WD Hitches and adding the airlift 1000 to the rear springs to keep the rear from any possible sagging.
If it were me, I would look at Andersen WD hitches.
Reasons being:
Standard WD hitches require lubrication (this collects dirt) on the trunion bars, hitch head, and the ball. Andersen hitch requires no lubrication of any kind. If you wanted to throw your hitch in the back end of your Pathfinder, cleaning up from an Andersen hitch, could be done with a vaccum cleaner. The other hitches could be a different story. A common response to questions about which grease to use on standard WD hitches is "whatever color matches your clothing".
Andersen hitch has been reported as working very well on trailers of the size you are looking at. I've been using one, 4 - 5 years now, with a much heavier trailer.
Standard WD hitches are known for groaning noises, while backing and turning. These noises are non existant with the Andersen WD hitch.
Standard hitches weigh an average of 80 to 100 lbs. Andersen hitch weighs 60 lbs, including the parts that stay on the trailer. Putting the hitch in and out of the receiver, is much easier and cleaner.
Andersen hitch has built in sway control.
Thanks for the advice, I'll look into them. Any insight on the WD hitches from etrailer?
