Expert Reply:

The Curt TruTrack and Fastway weight distribution systems are very similar. Fastway is the economy brand of Equal-I-zer so it has that going for it. Otherwise both offer built in sway control but the Curt system has sway control in the head and at the bars whereas the Fastway system is just at the bars. Based on this I would go with the Curt system # C17500.
