Which hitch setup will work the best?

[love2rvcamp]

We are looking at the following travel trailer:
2017 Mesa Ridge MR340FLR
GVWR - 13,350
Hitch weight - 1,350
Unloaded weight - 8,885
Length - 36'

We currently have a 2008 Rockwood 8313
GVWR - 8883
Hitc weight - 890
We currently use an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch - 10,000 GTW

Tow Vehicle 2013 F250

I know we will have to change the hitch for the Mesa Ridge. When I go out to the Equal-i-zer site and put in my numbers it says it can not find a set up for me.

Do I need to start looking at the Hensley Arrow or ProPride 3P Trailer Sway Control Hitch?

Any other considerations that we should look into?

With an F250, I don't think you need to start thinking about too much hitch. I use a Reese HP trunion style with cams integrated into the 800 lb bars in case I feel the need for sway control sometime down the road. Tongue weight on our TT is advertised at 700 lbs. With all we have in it now, we're probably over 900 lbs tongue weight. Empty, trailer on with or without the spring bars, the front of our F250 doesn't change height. The rear settles two inches without the bars. The spring bars bring it back up one inch. Tows like a champ. The head of the Reese HP is rated for 1700 lbs tongue weight and only the spring bars need to be changed for different tongue weights. What is your receiver rated for with and without the reducer tube?

Blue Ox Sway Pro...LINK

Lots of bar weight choices to match you loaded tongue weight.
Very easy to set up and dial in.

Shop the net for best price. I like etrailer.com

BlueOx, Curt, Strait Line, and Reese SC all have WD hitches with built in sway control and ratings in 14 - 1600 lb tongue weights.

I like the BlueOx Swaypro, for it's internal lubrication on the hitch head and bars. Hitching and unhitching is cleaner.

Look on etrailer.com. There, you can search by tongue weight, manufacturer, or with / without sway control.
