For a weight distribution system with sway control, you will want to account for the total tongue weight. This includes the loaded tongue weight of your 33 foot Toy Hauler as well as any cargo behind the rear axle of your Ford Excursion. You want a system that has that total tongue weight in the middle of its tongue weight range for best results. You will also want to look at your owners manual as 1/2 of the Ford Excursions are not capable of towing that weight, while the other 1/2 are.

Based on the information you gave, I recommend the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 15,000 lbs GTW, 1,500 lbs TW # RP66130. This is the only system that actively fights sway with its hot rolled spring bars and dual cam system. This system is designed to keep your trailer from sway versus trying to limit the sway when it occurs. This system is extremely adjustable so you can fine tune it for your application. This system is intended to be used on total tongue weight between 800-1500 lbs. You will need the Reese Weight Dist Shank - 12-1/4" Long - 2" Drop to 6-1/2" Rise - 1,500 lbs TW # RP54970 along with the hitch ball # C40030.
