    Equalizer x2 easy to use once it's set up

    My rig. 20' total between 3700 & 4200 lbs depending on how I load it.

    The hitch set up. I have the 10,000lb hitch. That is what equalizer recommended.

    Equalizer X3 - I've got the 12,000lb. model. That's what the dealer sold me when I bought my Trailer Blazer C191. Not sorry now because I can use it with my Chevy HD when I upgrade to a larger trailer. Since these are adjusted for the trailer/truck combo it doesn't hurt having the extra capacity. I've used this with a Honda Ridgeline and the Tacoma for 5 years. Works great.
