which weight distribution to buy

hello and thanks for reading my post

I'm in the market for a new travel trailer and I'm trying to decide which hitch to buy. I plan to pull the trailer with my 2014 Toyota tundra that has a 5.7 motor and I plan on buying a trailer no smaller then 25 feet and no longer then 35. also I would like the wd hitch to have sway control. any ideas or comments would be appreciated

    I pretty much agree with the above post. Here are links to the hitches mentioned. Keep in mind that they are available from other dealers also and not just the one I am linking to.

    Reese Strait-Line hitch

    Equal-i-zer hitch

    Blue Ox Sway Pro hitch

    You will have to decide what rate spring bars to get with any of the above hitches. That choice will depend on the tongue weight of your trailer. I have always had excellent luck with sizing my spring bars about 300lbs heavier than the actual tongue weight of my trailers.

    Lots of people will recommend what they have...that's pretty much how it works on the Forum.

    I would look at and research these 3 (in no particular order):

    Reece Strait Line Dual Cam
    Equal-i-zer (brand)
    Blue Ox Sway Pro
