My Favorite Weight Distribution System

I've owned a few, but have found the Husky Center Line TS to be the best of the bunch. Who else has the Husky, and what do you think of it?

Here's a link to a review on it:

Great article! I will be picking up my new 26rr in a few weeks and have decided to go with the centerline ts. Cost is less then other manufacturers so interested in others experience with it as well.

Ya cant back up without removing the sway brake which does little for the system. Had it did not like it. Just my 2 cents. Later RJD

Equalizer 4 point with sway control. Best ever.

The center line TS does not have a sway brake. Are you sure you are talking about the center line TS and not some other husky hitch?

Best of the bunch? That's open to debate. I absolutely love my Reese Dual-Cam setup and wouldn't change to another brand even if you gave it to me free.

Ever tried the Hensley? Expensive? Yes absolutely! I got mine dirt cheap. I can drop my tailgate. I can back up with it. Forget I'm towing something 35' long on I-95 at 65 MPH absolutely. No spring bars to lift and lock in. Hinder trailer theft, yes although still doable but will take more time or have the Hensley stinger. Wind, is it windy? Didn't notice. The only challenge I have is hitching up which is too bad but more involved than just hitting the ball.

I also have a Hensley. Towed it 10k miles last year without a problem. Wind is not even noticeable. Backing up easy and quick. Solid construction. Fighting up level bars is done with a ratchet without effort. Service from factory is terrific. Only down side you are paying for quality so it costs more but you'll won't find a better performing hitch

Trailer Sway

We have used our Hensley Arrow for years and on 4 different TT's. Wouldn't trust anything else. They honour their lifetime warranty as I had recently required a replacement OCL and no problem obtaining a replacement. Once while crossing the Mojave Dessert in massive crosswinds saw one semi blown off the Interstate and on its side into the median. We hardly felt the wind and sailed right through with never a problem! Even using the Hensley on our downsized and really light 25' TT now and even though a it's definitely a bit of overkill, it works just fine and trailer sway is non-existent. Backing up is every bit as good as a 5th. and one heck of a lot better than any conventional hitch. Expensive? You bet! Well worth it in the long term though. Can take a bit of getting used to hooking and unhooking but once used to it is not that bad. Only draw-back is that it does add a little over a foot to overall length.

Push the button and get some height on the tongue and Equalizer is much easier and faster to hook up................ Made it easiest~~ bought a 5er a few months ago (with auto-level too).

I have the centerline ts. It does a great job with my 312qbud. No noticeable sway at all. My only complaint is that the powder coat has almost completely worn off my level bars. I have only had it since may.

I have the centerline ts as well and have no complaints. This is my first TT and WDH so don't have anything to really compare to but it gets the job done. Plus the tool it comes with makes it very easy to hook and unhook the bars. My powder coat is coming off as well but that's no big deal.

What sway brake? This is the Centerline TS.

The Reese dual cam is what I had before this. I really liked it, too, but I like this better.

I have one and like it but can't compare it since it's the only one I've had.

Best weight distribution hitch

The best I have owned is the Blue Ox Sway Pro, I've been towing for over 40 years and have used the Sway Pro for the last 5 years on two different trailer. Its also priced in the low to middle range.

I have one on order, hope it performs as good as the reviews. This is my first 35ft TT so I cannot compare. Had a FW the last 8 years.
