Reese SC Weight Distribution w Sway Control

Guys,

Thanks for the response! Looks like I'm going with the Reese. Thanks again everyone for helping with the decision.

Add me to the list of happy Reese SC owners. I never unhook until the TT is in place.

I have the SC hitch and it is great. I have great control even in wind or when being passed by big rigs. It is very easy to hook up and unhook as well. I did have one of the brake pads come loose but Reese replaced it free of charge.

I would definitely buy this hitch again.

I've had one for 3+ years and have been very happy with it. Easy to hook up, don't have to unhook anything to back up and it is quiet.

My trailer isn't as robust as yours, but sized right I don't see why it wouldn't work right.

The Truck is a Tundra Double Cab with the 5.7 and tow package and the TT is going to be a KZ Sportsmen S314BHK. Unloaded Weight of the TT is 6,510lbs with a hitch weight of 589lbs. She's 33' ft. long.

I've known other Tundra owners to pull larger trailers than this with out issue, but no one I know has used the Reese SC. I'm looking at the 1200/12,000lb model which should be more than sufficient for this rig I would think...

I use Draw Tite trunnion hitch and two friction bars. Does great and I have NEVER removed them to back up. The friction bars have no idea if you are backing up while turning or pulling forward while turning.

Two friction bars for trailers over 25 ish feet and no problems.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of standard WD hitches and friction bars on the road towing safely every day.

That said I would be more than satisfied with a properly set up Reese SC system or Equal-I-zer... Not a huge fan of dual cam. I have it sitting in my box o parts in the garage.

Thanks!

What truck and TT do you have, that makes the biggest difference in what you need.

I have towed in 55+ mph crosswinds with my Dual cam and pray I never do again, I could only hold between 50~55 mph and had my trucks electronic sway control kick in and hit the TT brakes a couple times.

Mine was 2010 F150 and a Passport 290BH TT. I now have a F250.

If you have a 20 foot or less you may not need DC, friction could be fine, but again it rally depends on the truck and TT.

Wow, the sway control took 40mph cross winds? Sounds like this is the hitch to go with.

Anyone have the Reese SC WDH with sway control? I'm am thinking about buying one and I'm interested in what its like backing up with it. Since you'd have to disconnect a normal sway control arm, how is it with the integrated friction pads? Any limitation on maneuverability? Any other thoughts concerns?

Thanks guys, sorry if you have answered this before but I couldn't find it.

no problems with maneuverability here.....no need to disconnect until camper is set.....
