Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for a 1958 22 ft Airstream Trailer
Question:
Hello, I have a 1958 22ft Airstream and need an anti sway hitch with a 2 inch ball. I had no issues tow before with a Ford F150, but now have a 2020 Lincoln Aviator.

Helpful Expert Reply:
It's not uncommon for vehicles with a shorter wheelbase to experience sway when towing the same trailer (from your F-150 to your 2020 Lincoln Aviator).
From what I could find it looks like your 1958 22 ft Airstream should weight about 3,000 lbs so I recommend using the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66082. The weight distribution side of things will help keep everything level and improve your towing experience while the dual-cam anti-sway it one of the few on the market that fights sway before it starts instead of waiting to correct it. For the hitch ball you just need part # A-90 and you'll be set!
