Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For a 2024 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

I am pulling a 2024 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL with a 2022 RAM 1500 Ecodiesel with air suspension. Looking for a new WDH with sway control. Can you help with which would be better? The BandW Continuum or the Blue Ox SwayPro? Or even another one if it is better. I really like the ease of hookup the Continuum has but from what I have read on here the Blue Ox may have better sway control.

For me the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET is going to be the best system to choose for your 2024 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL. Equal-i-zer has continued to be the hitch everyone is trying to compare themselves to. The made in the USA quality and lifetime warranty has really made this the best hitch for the buck in my opinion. I don't like how both the B&W Continuum # BW78FR and Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW1000 rely on the weight distribution to correct sway where the Equal-i-zer actually has a friction built in to control sway.

You will need a Thin Wall Socket # ALL643216 to install the hitch ball included with the hitch when you set it up for your camper.

The B&W Continuum #BW78FR and the Reese Strait-Line #RP66083 are both great systems. The B&W Continuum is going to be easier to set up, but as far as sway control goes, I definitely have to give the edge to the Reese Strait-Line. The…

Yes, it is my experience that they dual-cam sway control works much better than the Blue Ox systems. I recently have been riding in trucks towing trailers, one with the Blue Ox and one with a Reese system with the dual-cam sway control. The Blue Ox…

Answer 8

I'll start out by saying that the curb weight of the vehicle typically includes a full tank of gas and the driver of the vehicle (typically 150-lbs for the driver), so those shouldn't be included in your calculation. You're still going to…

I spoke with my contact at Fastway about the difficulty you're experiencing. The most common reason this happens is when the L-bracket bolts aren't tightened evenly. If the bolts aren't tightened so they're perfectly even, the link…

Answer 10

There is no difference in how the two systems handle; trunnion bar or round bar. The primary differences are the way the bars are constructed, and how they attach to the head of the system. Trunnion bars slide in from the side and behind to attach to…

Answer 12

The Blue Ox SwayPro part #BXW1000 would be your best option since your loaded tongue weight is 740 lbs. Going higher than that would be overkill and would give you a harsher ride quality.
