Newbie needs wd w/sway recommendation

[cappaj1]

I have a new Premier 22RB trailer and GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab pickup with tow package and built in electric brakes. I'm thinking tongue weight will be between 450 - 550 pounds.

Please recommend a top rated trunion type weight distribution hitch with a quiet sway control that doesn't have to be removed to backup. I would like a complete kit so I don't have to buy anything else.

Thanks in advance for any recommendation.

Reese has everything you want.

We had an Equal-i-zer and found it superb. It is totally quiet as long as you get the inexpensive teflon pads for the bar rests. Easy to use and can jack knife the trailer in reverse with no problems with bars installed.

Blue Ox Swaypro. Great hitch. It does everything you are asking for. I've never had a hitch that has worked so well.

I use the Reese HP Dual cam system which is excellent but it does make some noise. I believe the Blue Ox system is quieter than the Equalizer or the Reese Dual cam but also more expensive. These three all offer excellent sway control with WD and are the three I would recommend. The next step up will break the bank (Hensley Arrow & Propride 3P hitch).

The other option on the top end is the Propride 3P hitch. This is the Hensley but updated and a bit less expensive.
