14k Equalizer Hitch-Max TW when not using the bars?
I occasionally tow another trailer with my equalizer hitch but I do not use the weight distribution bars when towing it. Is the max tongue weight still 1400 pounds if you're not using the bars?

Do not know about the Equal-I-izer, however the Reese HP trunnion bar head rated at 1,700# TW in WD mode, is only rated at 1,000# in weight carrying mode. At least the vintage I have. I never called Reese to ask why. I suspect Equal-I-zer may have a similar de-rating. Again do not know why.
It is sort of like the 2 1/2 to 2" reducing sleeve for the larger receiver. The sleeve is only rated for 1,200# yet I can buy a 2" shank now a days rated at 1,500# in WD mode.
