Question:
heres my set up I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500hd and I tow a 2025 Jayco Jay Flight SLX Baja empty weight is 3450 lbs. loaded is 4750 lbs. is it possible to buy a sway control without buying a WDH.

Expert Reply:
Hey Ed, yeah we have sway control devices that are separate from a weight distribution like the Reese Friction Sway Unit part # 83660 which works great.
Or if you want something a little fancier we have the Curt True Course part # C94VV which uses internal sensors to detect when sway is occurring and lightly applies the brakes to stop it before you'd even know it was happening.
Is this what you had in mind?
