This time around I bought the trailer and hitch first and then went truck shopping! I don't recommend this path but circumstances just worked out that way!
I am an Equalizer guy! I have used the chain hitch in my youth and the Equalizer is just easier!
Another person posted this comment - "A complicated hitch is a bandaid for not enough tow vehicle." No disrespect - I just don't agree with the statement.
A Weight distribution hitch with sway control does just what the name says it does, It transfers a portion of the trailer weight to the truck and pushed the front end down and helps control sway. The hitch bars in essence make the truck & trailer one. Yes - the right truck is an important part of the equation! But if you don't need a one ton truck why buy one? Then again not having enough truck is a disaster - been there once, never again. I am sure there are those that bought a WDH because the dealer said he should! Then there are those of us that have studied and investigated. There is a reason why the vast majority of us use a WDH hitch. We have better control, less wear and tear on the truck, sway control, ect..
Get the right truck, the right Hitch for the combo and enjoy the ride!
Just my thoughts
Happy Camping!!
