Question:
We just purchased our first travel trailer, which Ill be towing with my 16 Ram 2500. The trailer is a 36foot unit, weighing about 8500lbs loaded. Im going to get a 1000/10000lb hitch either way. Im trying to choose between the equalizer E4 or the Blue Ox Sway Pro. I know the main difference is tension bars vs chains. My main goal is optimal sway control. Which hitch is better for sway control? What is the main difference between the E4s bars, vs the SwayPros chains. I cant find a clear comparison between the two. Thanks in Advance

Expert Reply:
The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37100ET and Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW1000 are both great options. However, in regards to combating trailer sway the edge has to go to the Equal-i-zer because it has true 4-Point sway control whereas Blue Ox really only has a 2-Point sway control system. The additional two points of contact means the system will be able to do a much better job of combating trailer sway. I have attached a photo for you that points out the four points of sway control on the Equal-i-zer.
I would also like to add that the Equal-i-zer has a forged head and the Blue Ox has a cast head. The forged head will be much more durable and last longer than the cast head.
