Question:

You told someone that you recommend the Equal-i-zer with a 2019 Audi Q7 as a tow vehicle. The Audi Q7 says NOT to use a weight distribution system as the receiver is not rated for that much torch. Do you still recommend the Equal-i-zer to prevent sway?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Thank you for pointing out this error, I was able to verify with the owners manual for your 2019 Audi Q7 you should never use a weight distribution hitch and removed the old question. The best way for you to help reduce/prevent sway is by using a Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. This will require your trailer to have electric brakes as it uses the brakes independently to prevent sway from occurring.

If you have a smaller trailer which does not have electric brakes the Friction Sway # 17200 is really your only option. This will require you to have a ball mount with a sway ball connection like the Curt # D320.
