Question:
Looking for a recommendation for a load distribution hitch for my 2006 eclipse attitude toy hauler? Need really good swag control also. Thanks

When choosing a weight distribution hitch, you want to choose based off of the loaded tongue weight of your trailer; I wasn't able to find any definitive specs on this specific model but most of the trailers I found in the Attitude line had tongue weights of around 1000-lbs. You will want that tongue weight to fall towards the middle of the range of the weight distribution system that you choose.
With all of that considered I recommend using something like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37120ET which has 4 point sway control, which will help prevent sway before it starts. This system is ideal for trailers with tongue weights between 800-lbs and 1200-lbs maximum, so you'll want to make sure your trailer does not exceed that 1200-lbs tongue weight. The Equal-i-zer systems do sometimes require a 1-7/8" thin walled socket to install the hitch ball, so if you don't already have one you can get that with part # EQ70-00-4800.
I've linked a review video of this system for you to check out, but if your trailer tongue weight falls outside that range, just let me know and I can direct you to a more appropriate system.
