On my previous TT I used a Reese staight line with dual cam and the trunion bars. Worked well for me. for a 7500 pound TT and 15% tongue weight fully loaded you are at about 1125 tongue weight. I think the Reese may cost a little more than $400. If I ever went back to a TT I would use the Reese with dual cam again. I really liked it. depending on how far you are from the dealer you may want to load the TT up and see what your actual tongue is going to be since the bars come in different weights. Your tongue weight should fall below that weight. Check etrailer and check out all of the WD on their web site. I purchased and used a tongue scale. fairly reasonable in price and you can find them on the internet.
Since I could theoretically tow 7500# with a 1125# tongue weight... should I look for a WDH that tows 12000#/1200# Tongue? Or is that overkill?
