Should I Use a 2-Point or 4-Point Sway Control On a 34' Travel Trailer?
Question:
I have a 2022 ram 2500 and will be pulling a 34foot travel trailer.Would 4pt hitch be much better than 2t?

A weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET with its 4-point sway control will work better at preventing sway than a 2-point like the Fastway # FA94-00-1061. Due to the large 34' long by 8'+ tall walls of your travel trailer this is a large surface area for wind to push your trailer and try to create sway. Both these hitches are rated for a trailer up to 10,000lbs and a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs. If your trailer does not fall into these weight parameters please let me know what your trailer weights are and I can help you find the correct hitch.
You will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the 2-5/16" hitch ball that comes with both hitches.
