This towing thread has made me curious about weight distributing anti-sway hitches...
Just to be sure I really understand the Equal-i-zer hitch...
Does the Equal-i-zer hitch plug right into the Sequoia hitch receiver or does it require one to replace all or part of the factory hitch receiver? Does anything on the Equal-i-zer have to be fit to a particular vehicle or is it easy to swap from one vehicle to another?
So how imperative is it that one go with a weight distibuting anti-sway hitch if towing 5k lbs?
I realize that the conservative answer is to install the Equal-i-zer but it is $400. (Of course I'd gladly spend $400 if it is needed.)
Background -
I might occasionally tow a 3500lb sports car (very, very low center of gravity) on a 1300 lb aluminum dual axle flatbed trailer (
link to the trailer). The trailer has electric brakes (for which I already have a Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller) I have never noticed *any* sway when towing the setup with a Chevy Duramax 2500HD (3/4 ton) diesel pickup with a weight carrying hitch and I've towed the setup for about 7000 miles through varied conditions in the midwest. (I have noticed some slight bounce on one particular section of uneven road.)
Thanks,
Steve
