Get a WD hitch with built in sway control. There are many brands of these and they fit into three general categories.
1. Propride and Hensley. These are believed to be the "best" by many on this forum. They are engineered differently and are quite expensive.
2. Mid level hitches that will cost you less than half of those in #1. The big three have already been mentioned, Reese and Equalizer have been around a long time.
3. Less expensive types that usually require an addition of a friction bar for sway.
I have had two trailers and both have had Equalizer hitches. I don't know about the others so can't make any suggestions. When I got my first one I stayed away from those that used chains that had to be snapped into place. A long time ago these did not allow backing when hitched and I didn't like the notion of loading these chains under pressure. Today this is not a problem as they have improved them greatly and many use and like them.
I like the Equalizer because it works, it is easy to hitch and to unhitch. If I were starting again I would look at all the options. People on the forum have some very strong feelings about "their" hitch. Good luck.
