Weight Distribution Recommendation Equal-izer or Curt for Forest River Vibe 26RK

Question:

I am buying a new Forest River Vibe 26RK special ordered from the factory which is 33 ft long and will be picking it up from the dealer in a few days. I have a 2018 2500 HD Duramax Diesel so I know I have plenty of truck. My question is what is the favored WDH brand. I have been considering the Curt Trutrack 17500 which is rated 8-10K and my TT loaded will be around 7500lb. I also hear good things about the Equalizer brand. I would like to hear what people think about what is the better brands to buy. I wont be getting the type that uses chains for tension I will prefer a better WDH that has sway control incorporated into the design. Thanks.

The Equal-i-Zer weight distribution systems are widely considered to be the best you can get. Especially in the style that does not use chains like you mentioned. They are the original company to come up with this design and who most of the other brands like Curt "borrowed" their design ideas from. The build quality as well as quality control by far exceeds the other brands so instead of the TruTrack # C17500 I would recommend the Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET for your Forest River Vibe 26RK.
