I have towed over 250000 miles...and still do....with a basic Reese WDH and dual friction controls. I currently tow a rig weighing in at 10300lbs. Never a sway issue....and with the dual friction if you need more or less sway control you can adjust. There is no need to loosen in rain or to back up either. Its all a personal choice. To me there is too much hype about this is better than that....you need to change shocks or add sway bars....all******if your vehicle is rated to tow your load and the hitch is set up properly.
