WDH/Sway Assy for Jayco X17Z and Toyota 4Runner

We are contemplating on purchasing a used 2013 Jayco X17Z hybrid and have questions on what WDH/Sway setup to use. The tow vehicle is a 2008 Toyota 4Runner, 6 cyl with tow capacity of 5K lbs and 500 lbs tongue wt. Any recommendations for weight specs of WDH/Swag assembly and what brand/model would be appreciated. Thanks!

You want about 12 to 15 percent of the htt weight for the tongue weight. I would look at a 600 to 800 pound bars. I like the equalizer brand WDH, it has integrated sway control. I also used and like Reese Dual Cam WDH too as it also has inegated sway control.

I'd recommend the Equalizer 600/6000. Works great for me for past 6 years.

Welcome to the JOF.

Here's another recommendation for the Equalizer. I've been using their '4-point' type (1000/10000) since 2006 and have been very pleased.
