I have a 1000# Trekker and am really pleased with it. There's no place I go where the wind isn't blowing at some point along the journey (see where I live), and this hitch has performed beyond my expectations. I've been through thunderstorms with high gusting side winds, and even though I slowed down with the rest of the traffic, there was no problem.
I came from a Reese Dual-Cam (the older style) so I have a pretty good basis for comparison. One thing I like about this hitch is if you're going into slippery conditions, you can back off the amount of sway control and help keep things better under your control.
My trailer is 30' long, weighs about 7000# ready to go, so it's a pretty good test.
Hope that helps you...
Nice, that's what I was looking for. I also had a 9000 lb 35 foot trailer before with the Reese dual cam set up which was pretty good but kind of a pain to deal with and expensive to purchase, I think I will like this set up better. I live in north Texas where the wind is always blowing either straight out of the south or straight out of the north but almost always 30 mph or more a good 50% of the time and 20 mph the rest. October is probably are only month we don't have high winds so I'm enjoying it, spring and good camping weather the wind constantly blows.
the other poster stated that the 600/6000 lb probably doesn't have a lot of use but I disagree, I see more smaller and lighter TT then ever before i would think it would be the most popular. My brother has a 29 ft trailer that maxes out at around 6k. Almost any ultra light less then 30 ft is under 6k so that is a good part of the TT market I would think I think most people are over sold on the larger units when they really don't need them.
