Moved to Tow Veh Armada 23B or 23F Jay flight Equalizer ?

MOVed to tow Vehicles

Good afternoon everyone...sorry but I had to send a post...my apology if the info is here already but I came back a few months ago with my buddy who purchased a Jay Flight 23F or B Hybrid.

Very nice hybrid with slide and three beds that fold out. Very roomy and the quality looks pretty good. The difference between the Hybrid 23 F or B is a few pounds as one has a dinette vs. a couch.

But here is my question as one weighs in at 4174 dry with a hitch weight of 440 and the other with a dry weight of 3995 and a hitch weight of 395. EQualizer regardless......correct for any SUV and or half ton......maybe not a 1/4 ton or 1 ton truck.

I recommended to my friend he purchase a equalizer hitch with the trailer for easier towing all around. The dealer said he did not need one.....playing into the $$$ factor.

Am I wrong?
  • We tow a 2007 Jayco 23B with a 2008 Toyota 4Runner (V8) and use an Equal-i-zer WD hitch.
  • I'd use some type of WD hitch / sway control unless you're towing with a 1-ton.
