Is Equal-i-zer® hitch easy to use?

Everything about the Equal-i-zer® is designed to make trailer towing easier for the customer, so that driving stays a pleasure. Intricate moves, and turns can be made with more control. And the Equal-i-zer®'s unique design allows the 4-Point Sway Control™ system to work with most surge brakes.

How does the Equal-i-zer® hitch hook-up?

With the Equal-i-zer®, the hitching process is very easy. Our unique trailer brackets eliminate the need to work with chains normally associated with weight distribution. In a nutshell there are three steps to hitch up:

  1. Couple the trailer onto the hitch ball.
  2. Use the tongue jack or the included snap-up lever to place arms onto the sway control brackets  
  3. Insert retaining pins.

From the first time you back-up to couple it, you'll see how quick and simple to use the Equal-i-zer® hitch is. It installs on any standard two-inch receiver hitch. Then it can be coupled at any angle. Getting on the road with 4-Point Sway Control™ doesn't get much easier.

How does Equal-i-zer® hitch reduce trailer sway?

The Equal-i-zer® hitch reduces trailer sway through the 4-Point Sway Control™ friction system built directly into the hitch. When towing with an Equal-i-zer® brand hitch, towing hazards such as cross winds, passing trucks, and quick lane changes can be handled better. Only the Equal-i-zer® hitch has the power of 4-Point Sway Control™.

How long does it take to install an Equal-i-zer® hitch?

The initial installation of the Equal-i-zer® is easy. It can be done by the dealer or the trailer owner in less than an hour. The hitch is designed to bolt on, so drilling is not required. The Equal-i-zer® comes completely ready to use with no hidden costs for extra accessories, special tools, or "add-ons". After the installation the Equal-i-zer® hitches and unhitches quickly on any conventional two-inch receiver hitch.

Does Equal-i-zer® hitch offer weight distribution?

Yes. The Equal-i-zer® transfers the trailer's tongue-weight evenly to all the axles of the tow vehicle. This keeps the steering wheels in firm contact with the road surface—giving you greater control and safety. The weight distribution feature will allow your truck and trailer to ride level. Equal-i-zer®'s non-tapered spring arms give superior weight distribution and the rigid trailer brackets provide a smoother, more comfortable ride.
