Weight Distribution Hitch Question

[SigOris]

Asking those who tow or did tow TT's and used a WDH which brand they liked.

My wife posted a question on one of her FB TT groups and the consensus was the Equal-I-Zer brand and YES, I KNOW, specific model depends on TT weights.

While I've not bought one yet, the Weigh Safe with its app and adjustments is at the top of my list if I decide to ever get one. But, at 111 lb for the options I want for it, it's still a payload impact over the standard Weight Safe hitch I can carry under my rear seat with 3 different ball sizes.

The E2 is a good hitch. I use one(Roundbar with 800# bars). Is it the best? Who knows, but it does the job I need it to do.

I know there's a couple other brands that work similarly.

This is what i use. Works just fine.

This is what i should be using. The other one is too stiff. Made for a heavier trailer

Can't just buy a different set of bars for it?

That i do not know.

Probably one of those deals where a set of bars is almost as much as just buying a whole new hitch or something.

This is a very loaded question. The fact is most of the reasonably priced hitches all work the same. Basically a hitch head with some manner of spring bars sized based on tongue weight/trailer weight. The Equal-I-Zer and the E2 probably the most popular. I have not tried the Anderson hitch, but it gets good reviews. If money is no object there is the Pro Pride hitch, but it is sized for larger trailer sizes/weights.

The big difference in most of the hitches is whether they use chains or brackets on the trailer frame.to tension the spring bars. Most manufacturers will make both types. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The chain type will usually require a separate friction sway control bar which needs to be taken off to back-up. They do tend be quieter than the bracket type when turning corners. The bracket type uses the friction of the bar on the bracket and sometimes the pivots of the bars for sway control, and can be backed up with no need to remove anything. They do tend to be noisyer due to the bars sliding on the brackets.

All this being said, I use a Husky Centerline TS hitch when towing my 4K TT. I've been very happy with it, but have not tried any other hitches to know if they are better or worse. This is probably the case with most of the answers you will get. The hitch they have is the one recommended/sold by the dealer that sold them the trailer, and the only one they have ever used.
