peejaykay, thanks a ton for your comments. Please report back once you get your trailer and what you think of the towing experience. What WDH did you get?anaro wrote:
As for if the wdh adds weight, get the Anderson as it us lightweight. Also, wdh tends to move some of the tongue weight back onto the tt as well so it will negate the weight added of the hitch.
I took a look at the Andersen hitches online tonight and they look awesome. Of course it's one of those hitches where there are no dealers anywhere in my vicinity and the Canadian prices is way whacko compared to the US pricing. But they say under 60 pounds (a reviewer said 53 pounds) and look simpler to set up. One reviewer said you don't need to remove anything to back up, do you usually need to detach some of the WD hitch to back up?
I got an Andersen for a few reasons and it seems to work as well,as my old Equil-I-Zer did. It's far less weight, easy enough to attach/detach with no lifting-sweating-straining, and part stays on the trailer tongue & the hitch ball can remain on the truck. I like it!
