I know this comes up a lot but I am shopping for a new hitch. I had a Equalizer hitch for seven years and really liked it. It worked great but was heavy and noisy. In my research I came across the Husky TS for $200 less than the Equalizer and it looks good and has great reviews on Amazon. I like that it deals with the noise and comes with the ball. It is a little deceiving that they have a Centerline towing system and a Centerline TS. But not unlike the Equalizer E4 and E2. I am a little leery of the compression cylinders of the Centerline HD towing system having some issues and like the simplicity of the TS. So my question is how does the Centerline TS compare to the Equalizer E4? I will spend the money if the Equalizer is better but if the TS is just as good then it would be nice to save the $200.Thanks.

Another choice to look at:if you want a super quiet (silent) hitch that is a piece of cake to install and set up ....look at a Blue Ox SwayPro.Over the years I have had a basic WD with friction sway bar, an Equal-i-zer and a Reece Dual Cam...I am more than happy with the Blue Ox on our new rig.

I prefer Reese but there's no denying a weekend on the interstate will reveal the Equalizer to be the most popular WD hitch by far. Here's an opinion by folks who know trailer hitches.https://www.etrailer.com/question-116001.html

Here's a YouTube video of the Husky. Impressive but I'm not at all convinced they couldn't have done the same with any other hitch or with no sway control at all.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz-rgndtVbw

The Blue Ox hitch I use with my 25 footer works fine. The built in anti-sway feature works for us.

How does it control sway without any friction points?

I agree it is all in the setup. The dealer set up my last Equalizer hitch and I could hardly make it home. I then readjusted everything so the trailer was level and the weight was distributed correctly and it worked great. I pulled that 33 foot trailer all over the country with a half ton Yukon XL.
So if I get the proper WD hitch and set it up correctly I won't even need that $80 friction bar:)

So anyone know anything about the Anderson no sway hitch? It looks very simple and light weight (I have some back issues). Can it really do the job that it claims?

Go with the Reese DC. Yes it is a bit noisy whith heavy tongue weights. But it more than makes up for it in how well it prevents/controls sway. The only hitches that are better are the Hensley Arrow and Pro Pride. There is another hitch that is even better than those 2 but I forget its name.

Okay I just read every review on Amazon for the Husky TS and people love it. 4.9 stars is higher that all the other brands and it is at least $200 less all the ones I am considering.

The snap L pins look like a good idea. Also the sway bracket jacket to reused noise. But if you add in the ball, pins, and bracket jacket the E4 would then be $250 more than the Centerline TS. So I will be doing more checking on the TS.

The TS has the same stupid cotter pins as the old Equalizers, and the E4 should come with the L pins, it's just the cheaper E2 that still comes with the old style (or if a dealer has really old stock, but it's been a couple years since the E4 got the new pins)
