I have an Equal-I-zer 4 point sway control hitch. I strongly agree with OldmanAZ above with what he said about the fastway.

I have been using Anderson hitches for years, currently with my JayFlight 31QBDS. Very satisfied with its performance. I believe it is rated up to 1,400 lbs pin weight.

I need to pick a wdh though. Would like some real users input. Have narrowed it down to Blue Ox Swaypro, Equal-i-zer, and Andersen no sway. Dealer carries blue ox, Equal-i-zer/fastway, and Curt trutrack. Andersen I would have to get somewhere else. I would prefer integrated sway control. Would appreciate some help though as I have no experience with any of these products. Can I go wrong in picking one over the other?

TV Nissan Titan XD with diesel
TT Jayflight 33rbts- brochure says: uvw 8690, dhw 915, gvwr 10950, and cargo 2260. I know actual yellow sticker will probably vary.

Thanks in advance.

Please let us know how the Titan XD manages the tow. I know the stated limit on trailer weight is just under 12,000 lbs, and a little less if your XD is a 4x4.

When I first got a new trailer, I did a lot of searching here and on the web. It got pretty confusing. I thought I had it figured out, then called Etrailer https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Wei...tribution.aspx and a very knowledgeable person really helped me out. They handle all the WDHs mentioned above, and can give an honest opionion on what you need.

We didn't have this problem. We bought the trailer they installed the units and out the door we went. Didn't know rocket science was involved. We have a cherokee that tows ours. No trucks involved.

Just food for thought......, but most WDH's require a re-adjustment once a TV/TT combo is under typical 'ready-to-camp' loaded conditions. Definitely makes a difference when traveling through mountains and less then ideal travel conditions.

I really like my Anderson WDH. It is smooth traveling and easy to set up and take down. Can't go wrong with this hitch.

I replaced the Equalizer with the Blue Ox and haven't looked back. The EQ performed very well but the sway control bracket would not stay secure, as it frequently rotated/shifted horizontally on my trailer no matter how hard I tightened the bolts. I was always needing to reinstall the bracket by loosening, adjusting, and re-tightening the bracket. My Jayco dealer said that sometimes they need to tack weld the bracket to the trailer in order to prevent it from shifting - pain in the butt. The EQ also requires inspection of the head to make sure everything is tight. The BO is virtually maintenance free and super easy to install and operate. No lack of performance over the EQ. The BO would be my first choice going forward.

The trailer you are getting will be heavy on tongue weight most likely. I have the eagle ht 324bhts. Comparable weight wise to yours. I use the equalizer 4pt. 14k hitch. Which is good for 1k to 1400 lbs tongue weight. I would go with the big equalizer or the 2k blue ox. I tow with a 2017 f250 with camper pkg. I have 6 washers on my equalizer and want to add one more just haven't gotten around to doing so.

PRO-PRIDE I know it is expensive but it is the best WD hitch on the market...
