Equalizer or Dual Cam.....which is better?

[zogg]

I'm pulling a V nose TT at about 8,000 pounds with my 2013 Ram 2500.
The hitch that cma with it is the standard WD hitch with round bars and a single sway bar that pins to one side of the hitch.

It's ok, I guess, but I have read a lot about the Equalizer and the Reese Dual Cam. I have looked hard at both and just cannot decide. The reviews on the dual cam seem to indicate a better sway control, but the dual cam seems extremely complicated compared to the Equalizer.

It appears that the biggest issue with the Equalizer is torquing down the hitch ball and maybe some squeeking when turning.

We went to WIsconson last summer from southern Illinois (about 700 miles) and I was pretty "white knuckled" most of the way. I think I might enjoy the ride better with better sway control. I kept tightening the sway bar until I had it as tight as I could get it, and there were still several sway issues.

Anyway, I would like to hear from those folks that have the dual cam or the equalizer.....anyone had both??? Thanks in advance...

I sold my Reese since I couldn't get it to where I was comfortable driving. Not quite white-knuckle, but I definitely had to paying 110% attention to driving, which gets old.

I got a ProPride last year and it's absolutely night and day different how much better it is than a regular WD hitch. Yes, it's a lot of dough (took me a few years to talk myself into buying one), but they have a great return policy that allows you to try it out on your rig.

Sorry to muck up your post, but your TV & trailer are similar in weight to mine so I thought I'd throw in my 2¢.

Your asking a Ford or Chevy question though.

i chose the Equal-i-zer for its simplicity and great reviews.
price from RVW was a pro factor also.
