Hitch recommendation

We are ready to purchase our new travel trailer and would like input on the best load distributing, anti sway hitch. The trailer will be about 9,500 pounds loaded and about 35 feet long. We will be pulling with a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel with 6 speed transmission. I have considered the E-Z pull, Hensley, etc.
Thanks very much.

    You asked for "best". Sounds to me like that puts ProPride and Hensley as the answer.

    Equal-i-zer 4-pt or Reese Straight line at about $500. 1200 pound bars, maybe 1400 pound.

    If you want the ultimate in sway control get a Hensley or Propride. Nothing else compares in terms of stability. They are both very expensive compared to other hitches.
    My last RV was a 36' 11k GVW trailer loaded It weight 9500-10K. I was not satisfied with the towing performance until I bit the bullet an purchased a Hensley.
