    IMG_1438.jpg IMG_1395.jpg IMG_1438.jpg I use this WDH with both the Taco and RL. The model you use will depend on tongue weight of your trailer. Proven performance.

    Tow mirrors for the Taco were these. Do not need them for the RL as it is wider.

    Dont forget a brake controller. I use a P3.

    I am looking at this one and the EZ-lift R6 or the Trekker, the Equal-I-zer seems to have good reviews minus the fact that it doesn't come with a ball.

    Most do not come with a ball because the size of the ball will depend on the trailer. Ball size will depend on the trailer coupler.

    FWIW, just looked at the hitches mentioned. While good hitches in their own right they seem a bit fiddly. One more thing to make sure is turned on (sway control) and another tool to keep track of to turn it on. Kinda like the KISS principal of the Equalizer. Hitch it up and go plus it made in the USA. Saw mention that the ball is not replaceable on the R6. Balls do wear and get damaged so theres that also.

    Curt standard WDH and Curt friction sway bar.

    I got some Amazon towing mirrors. They were cheap and work fine. Can't get into my Amazon account to find them, though
