Brought home new TT today

Nice set up. I do have a couple of questions...in the close up with your friction sway, it almost looks like the hitch head is angled towards (top of hitch head is closer to TV vs bottom of hitch head) the pick up. Is this just the appearance in the picture or is it actually tilted at that angle?

Also, what size bars do you have? From what I know, Reese only makes 800 or 1200# bars for that hitch. I would think for that size trailer you would need the 1200#.

With those bars it wouldn't take much to add the dual cam system. I really like mine, but when I used a 1/2 ton and was pushing it's suspension limits I had to readjust it every time I hooked up. With my van I set the system up once and it's been perfect every time I have hooked up so far.

I agree with MackinawMan. Just traded my trailer and hitch for a 5th wheel. Dealer gave me good $$ credit for the Equalizer that I had.

You don't have to ask the question "how tight are you supposed to make it?". Just hook it up and drive. The hitch does the rest!! I pulled mine a bunch of windy miles and never had a white knuckle experience.

If you haven't you probably will have to upgrade your shocks (if they are stock) because it will be like a pogo stick.

couldn't you add a second friction bar as starters?

If it were me I'd scrap that Reese setup and go with either the Reese Dual Cam or the Equalizer Brand WD hitch. ($500-$600)

This is my advice too and what I was 'hinting' at in my post above about a single friction bar on a 35+ footer.

Thanks for the pics. Enjoy your neat rig!

Great looking setup!!

If you have the money you might even want to look into the Hensley or ProPride ($2000-$3000?)

IMHO looking at that TT it's probably right at the edge of the capabilities of that F150 (the suspension not the engine).

So I'd invest in a good quality WD/Sway hitch and IMHO you will be happy you did.

The difference between the Equalizer brand hitch I have now and the Reese style I used to have (just like the one you have) is huge.

Congrats. Looks great

That's a very nice rig. :B

I see you have the same Reese sway control friction bar that I do. how tight are you supposed to make it? for me it's just a Silly Wild A Guess.

Man, that's a beauty...Congrats.
Are you going to store it in your garage?....:)

(Interesting that the dealer set you up with a single friction bar for sway on on 35+ footer.)
But, sounds like so far it has towed nicely.
