Comparing Reese Strait Line And Dual Cam II Weight Distribution Hitches
Question:
What are the performance and maintenance differences between the Reese Strait-Line and the dual-cam ii?

Expert Reply:
That is a great question. Both of those are great weight distribution hitches. Between the two, I prefer the Reese Dual Cam II over the Strait Line. The Dual Cam uses an L-bracket to attach to the frame, instead of a chain and lift bracket. L-brackets will be easier to set up, will require less maintenance, and will be more effective than a chain. L-brackets also create less road noise than chains. The Dual Cam has a lot of additional parts, and can be a lot to deal with. Especially when you can get a more effective, user friendly system for right around the same price point.
The Reese dual cam II # RP75FR is their 12K system, and will work with trailers with a tongue weight up to 1,200 lbs. This will provide immediate, effective sway control while helping to level your ride. Keep in mind the shank is sold separately. For that we have the # RP69FR which is a 9-hole 12K rated shank.
