Question:

How would you compare the 3 weight distribution sysyems. Im torn between the three. I have a 23foot travel trailer single axle that weights 3700lb dry and GRVW sits at 5000lb. Tongue weight is at 430lb dry and 470-540lb when loaded. I have a 2006 ford F150 with towing capacity of 9000lb and tongue rating of 600lb. Im debatimg between fastway e2 94-00-0600 or fastway e2 94-00-0800 or husky centerline ts 32215. Any recomendation as far as fitment for my aplication or quality of product? Please help me out.

Between the three listed the part # FA94-00-0600 is the best for a loaded tongue weight of 540 lbs give or take.

That being said the best option is the part # RP66083 as it has a tongue weight range that would work perfectly as well but features sway control that works to fight sway before it starts.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
