    I have about a 50 year old reese weight distributing hitch I use to tow our Nash 17c with my 99 ford superduty. Would like to tow with the Tacoma and am wondering if there is any difference in hitches? I was thinking about Maybe picking up a new one to rig up for the Tacoma but like everything, there are lots of different ones and now sure if any are better than others?
    Thanks

    Equalizer brand is the way to go. Expensive, but well worth it.
