Summer: If you get a bigger TT, you MAY need a bigger hitch. The Equalizer comes in various sizes. The spring bars are heavier-duty for heavier TT's. Don't know if the hitch head is different or not. Example: I had a 400/4000 hitch for my Roo, but now have at 600/6000 hitch for my Mini-Lite.

You're kidding! This hitch seems over done for my 183. But I don't think I will ever go much bigger than a 25' trailer. I'm learning on this one. We'll see.

I'm hearing the Husky centerline is very heavy. Anyone confirm that?

all WDH are big chunks of steel designed to pull and carry heavy weights safely... they all weigh allot... the heavy adjustable shank that goes into your 2" receiver mounted on your TV along with the 2 5/16 hitch ball attached with nothing else attached will weigh around 25-35# I would guess.
Once you have that shank part mounted into your receiver, then you install onto the shank the additional torsion bars and sway controls (depending on what make/model) onto that shank that then hook to your trailer. Total weight of all that steel will be over 50# and probably closer to 60-65# once everything is hooked to your TV.
If you are wary of carrying that weight and installing it into YOUR receiver, then remember, the hitch all starts with the shank portion, and once that is installed you build up the hitch with additional parts for the final package to pull your TT.
I hope that helps answer your concerns...

Andersen WDH is the lightest hitch by far on the market. Easy setup, no grease, sway control built in...works great. I would look into it if you are concerned about the weight of the hitch!

I usually left my blue ox on the truck.
Got rear ended. Nothing major, but crumpled his hood.

I use an E2 Trunnion and it works fine with my 23' trailer.
