FWIW, the neighbor delivers New Air Streams across the northwest using an Air Stream provided company tow vehicle. Their tow vehicles appear to be FORDs, at least that's all I've seen and all use the Blue Ox set up. This is not an endorsement of either FORD or Blue Ox, just tellin ya what I've seen in his driveway. The other point is that these Air Stream trailers are EMPTY, no water or payload of any kind. He tells me he's not had any issue towing.
Personally, I have a Eqa-li-zer brand that came with my used TT. I've recently discovered the hitch is at it's limit. The TT is about 7880lbs and Tongue weight with very little in the trailer is 1000lbs measured by a Sherline scale I bought from Sherline. The hitch is rated for 1000lbs, which means it could easily be overloaded when We load up for a trip. The RAM 2500 factory hitch, claims to have a 1200lb max..Hmmmm... I'm considering the Andersen Sway Pro but need more data... I'd love to get a Hensley, but the weight of the Hensley hitch alone, would add another 100 lbs to the tongue.... So, I'm still considering... Best of luck with your choice.
