Weight Distributing Hitch

Can anyone recommend a good WDH? It is to be used with a 20' car hauler (7000 GVWR max). Thanks!

Brian

I don't think you can find a hitch that's rated higher than 6000 lbs. My X came with a U-haul receiver. I would recommend you go a different direction than U-haul if you thinking of overloading it

I don't plan on exceeding, I was just reporting the size of the trailer. I will be using the OEM receiver, but I am looking to add to that a LDH with sway control since I will be approaching the 6k limit.

If you want the absolutely best weight distribution hitch with sway control consider the Hensley Arrow by Hensley Mfg. Go to the following website for details: http://Nosway.com

Its pricy, but no smoke n mirrors. I've pulled an 8,300 pound GVWR travel trailer for over 30,000 miles with my 2001 4.4i using the Hensley hitch interface. It can handle a 1,000 pound tongue weight and a 10,000 pound GVWR trailer. Sway control is absolute without using friction. If you need more info do a search of this website for "towing" or "withidl".

Let me know if you need more info from me.
