Weight distributing/ sway reducing hitch opinions

[JoshHefnerX]

Seems to be more or less 2 basic designs, the 'bar and friction' or the 'chain and cam' setups. Considering a purchase of a small toy hauler and would be adding one or the other to them. Looking for pro/cons experience w/ either.

I've only used the chain style, makes a world of difference when I haul my 26' box trailer.

If used for one trailer that has one weight, like your toy hauler, either one. The chain and cam ones are way better if your load varies quite a bit.

The adjustable (height) receiver is nice when you need to switch tow rigs too.

That's a good thought - If I carry w/ a toy or w/o could be a couple hundred lbs of difference at the tongue.

Yeah, been waiting on a flat bed for some time - may be smart having adjustable height on that. Good mention.
