Is There A Difference In Weight Distribution Hitches, Specifically ProPride, BlueOx, And Equalizer
Question:
I am looking at purchasing a 20foot TT and need to know about hitches except the more I read the more I am confused. What is a good weight dist. hitch that also prevents sway and doesnt cost a mint? Are the Hensley and ProPride 3 hitches that are $2000+ really worth it or significantly better? I am considering the BlueOx or Equilizer, any thoughts on thise?

Expert Reply:
Your more expensive weight distribution hitches usually have this one thing in common. They are more quiet than their less expensive counterparts.
In addition, the ProPride 3P Weight Distribution Hitch w/ Sway Control for 2" Receivers - 10K GTW, 1K TW, part # PR57QR, is designed to counteract sway before it begins, not after. It also stays on your trailer, so you do not have to hook unhook and remove everything when you finish towing. You can hitch from different angles and you can back up while hooked to your trailer.
If I have to pick between the BlueOx offering or the Equalizer, I will go with the Equalizer because it has 4-point sway control, making it better than a 2-point option for sway control.. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW, part # EQ37120ET, is rated for 12,000 lbs with a tongue weight of 1,200 lbs. These weights are close to the ProPride 3P's weights you attached to your question.
