We've had both. Our HTT had the Eq and it did a fine job, just as it was supposed to do. The downsides were that it was noisy as all get-out, it was dirty and the bars we so heavy I could not lift them. In an emergency, I could not have hooked up. With the TT our dealer recommended the Blue Ox 1000, which we'd never heard of. He said to do some research and whichever we wanted was fine and there was about a $50 diff with the Eq being the higher. DH went to the Blue Ox website and did some reading. There are 2 videos he watched and felt that it was the better choice for us. It's quiet, clean and I could hook up if need be. Very easy to use. I have no idea why the salesman would make the comments he did - maybe Blue Ox is newer and those he mentioned just still have the Eq and no desire to change. First suggestion is to head for the Blue Ox website and spend some time. BTW, our TT is a Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604, dry wt is 5585 and GVWR is 6629, if that gives you any helpful info. Certainly not being critical of the Eq...they've been around a long time, many satisfied customers, good reputation. The Blue Ox is newer and for us has been a much better and easier to use choice. Both tow well and no issues. Take a look.
