Weight Distribution Recommendation for a Keystone Cougar 25MLE

Updated 09/12/2025 | Published 05/20/2025

Question:

I am trying to chose a weight distribution hitch. I have a 2024 Ford F150, with the 3.5 turbo and max towing package. I will be towing a Cougar 25MLE. TW is 695 and GTW is 8800lbs. IIt was a toss up between the Equil-i-zer and the Blue OX SwayPro, with the leaning toward the Swaypro. What is your recommendation?

Hey Phillip, thanks for reaching out!

The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ90-00-1000 is probably better known in the community, but I like the looks and operation of the Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW1006 better so I say go with it!

The tradeoff between both systems is that the Equal-i-zer will have a bit better sway control, but the Blue Ox will be quieter since it has the chains to hang by.

What do you like more about the SwayPro?

Hey Phillip, did you end up choosing the Blue Ox SwayPro for your towing setup? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as your experience could really help others looking to make a similar decision.
