Best weight distribution hitch?
I'm going to buy a new hitch when I buy a new trailer. Is there anything new on the market or is the E Z Lift still the best answer? I was just looking on line and it looks nothing had changed over ...

I towed with the EZ-Lift for about 9 years and it worked OK. It's the original weight distributing hitch introduced around 1957 which many have copied and many make a knock off of it, even Harbor Freight. It works but it's old technology with its add-on friction sway control.
IMO the most popular upgrades (in no particular order) are the Equal-I-Zer with 4 pt sway control, the Reese Dual Cam (I think they call it something else now) and the Blue Ox Pro. A buddy has the Blue Ox and really likes it.
The Reese Dual Cam has a big following.
Most of these are in the $500-$600 range as I recall. Any of those 3 should serve you well.
As mentioned, the Hensley Arrow and the Pro Ride are truly the gold standard but north of 2 grand new. They're fantastic but I can count on one hand the number I've seen in 16 years of towing a trailer. I've seen them available used from $600 to $1400.
