The 4pt Equal-i-zer is American made.

That, I don't know... They are both made by the same company.

Progress Manufacturering Inc. is the parent company for the Equal-i-zer and the Fastway E2.
They manufacture the Equal-i-zer but the E2 is manufactured for them in China.

Another vote for the Equal-I-Lizer. I have the 1400/14,000# one for our Freedom Express 320BHDSLE. One major plus of it over the Reese Dual Cam which I had is no drilling holes in the camper frame. Slightly less sway resistance, but I can totally live with that vs swiss cheesing my new trailer frame.

Never will, but if I would ever go back to a TT from the 5er it will towed with an Equalizer 4 point with sway. Company been in business 70 years in the US.

I will be towing a 2017 Wildcat Maxx 24RG that weight 6100 dry.

Any thought on the Recurve?

Thanks

Kollinr... I just bought a 5th wheel unit, and I am selling my Equil-I-zer 4 point WD hitch. It has a 2 5/16 ball, adjustable 2" receiver shank, and it is 1200/12,000 lb. capacity. I'm located in NE Ohio. If you are interested, PM me please. Good luck with your new TT!

Thanks for the offer but I'm in Oregon. It would probably be pretty expensive just to ship it over here. The more I read, that looks like the size I need to go with though.

Very good bang for the buck - very similar to the Equalizer, but about 1/2 the cost. I've been very happy with it.

Do you have the round bar or trunnion bar style?
