Keystone RV Forums - View Single Post - Another "do I have the right tow vehicle" question

I have a Curt True-Track hitch (which is very similar to the hitch Sourdough suggested) for my half ton and trailer, and I really like it. After I set my hitch up, my steer axle returned exactly to what I have unloaded, and I'm at about 13 percent tongue weight. I may need to return a little weight back to the drive axles, not sure, but so far it tows nicely.

This is my first experience with a WDH and a bumper pull camper, all my experience in the past was super duties and fifth wheels. I really do think I like the hitch though, with the built in sway control. It uses spring loaded detents in the head to encourage the camper to stay at center and return to it, and the torsion bars rest directly on, and slide in, an L bracket for metal on metal friction, to help resist sway.
