So what is the best WD hitch out there that does not use the integrated sway control? I am in the market for a new hitch and have been using a friction arm sway control for a few years without any real sway issues. I pull a 32' tt with approximately 725lb tongue wt. Thanks.


For us working folks, you've got the money to camp, but no time, or you've got the time but no money!!

No idea, but will say I've never talked to ANYONE who had had both and did not say they wished they had gotten rid of their friction sway control earlier. I sure love my Equal-i-zer. I hated the friction sway control.

I'd probably go with a Draw-Tite. It's made by Reese without the price.

Be sure to get the "crooked" end bars so you can add a HP Dual Cam sway control when ready.

For about the same money you can get the Equa-l-izer and have a better safer towing experience. I don't know anyone that regretted going from the WD and friction sway control to an equalizer or dual cam. The difference is like night and day. The big key here is when you say you haven't have any real sway issues. Go with the better system and have none.
