Towing anywhere clost to the limits will do serious harm to your vehicle and your attitude. That thing is simply not strong enough to work well.

Towing close to the limits won't hurt anything. I don't understand why people are so afraid to be near the limits.

No, won't hurt a thing. It's not a fear of towing near the limits, it's about towing comfort. I've done it close to my limits and with a healthy margin. It's far nicer to have a healthy margin between the weight of the trailer and the capacities of the tow vehicle.

I'd keep the hitch you have. The money saved will pay for a few camping trips.

It's 280 lbs difference and he has already towed 50,000 miles.
You'll never feel the 280 lbs and the WDH and sway control you have; if they we're good enough before, they are just fine now.

Properly set up there is nothing wrong with that hitch. Are the others better? Yes. But if what you have is working for you why not re-use it? I have one like that and it works just fine.

I don't think you'll notice a whole lot of difference towing the new trailer with your Trailblazer. Having owned a Trailblazer and towing my current trailer with it for a season, put it right at it's limits. It was OK, but towing the same trailer with my current Sierra is a night and day experience from the Trailblazer.

All that said watch your payload. It's not real high on the Trailblazer.

Congrats on the new trailer.. getting a new rig is always fun.

I really like the Blue Ox Swaypro that we are now using. Excellent hitch for a lot of reasons.

I think that what will really make a difference is a little more stout tow vehicle. You are really pushing the envelope pulling your new trailer with a Trailblazer.

Hopefully others will be more positive. Anyway enjoy your new rig.
