Weight Distribution Hitch and Sway Control

I have a Rockwood 8335SB which is 8300 dry, so likely 9000 when travelling. Which WDH would you recommend?

The only WDH that could make a F150 pull a 37ft 9000lbs+ TT possible, would be a ProPride or Hensley WDH.
But as an owner of a F150 3.5 Ecoboost also, with the Max Tow package, I would never consider towing your TT, even with one of those hitches.

I have essentially the same engine, WDH, and payload as Dan. I'm in agreement that I would not be comfortable pulling that trailer, at least not in the Sierra. What are you considering for your Tow Vehicle?

I'm not sure the OP wants to replace their F150. But they should if they want to continue to pull their TT.

If you are moving to a 3/4 ton truck, then any of the WDHs with integrated sway control work well. I love the 4 point Equal-i-zer WDH myself. But there are a number of others like Reese Dual-Cam and Blue Ox.
