- btcruzerExplorerThat trailer is listed as less than 5000 lbs dry weight and a tongue weight of just over 600 lbs. So I'm thinking that a WD hitch might not be needed if I were to haul the thing with a 3/4 Dodge. But I do want some form of sway control. My current hitch is a Equalizer brand of hitch and the "spring bars" are huge, like 1 1/2 inch square. I'm concerned that the bars might be stronger than the alum. tongue and bend the tongue if I got the truck or trailer into some 'attitude' other than pretty flat/level. Also, it looks to me that hitch would only function as a sway control when the 'spring bars' are under some amount of tension. I like this particular type of hitch as the weight and sway control work together.
Not a fan of the sliding friction controls that mount parallel to the tongue --- any good alternatives out there? - VintageRacerExplorernot with that specific trailer, but I had an all aluminium car trailer, 20' box type, and I used a Reese dual cam WD setup with it the whole time I had it. It was fine. No issues at all.
