Sway Control Hitch

[Packrat 13]

Has anyone installed an Equalizer Hitch (surge brake model) on their vehicle to pull their boat? I’m using a Sequoia 5.7 v8 4wd to pull a SV230 about 1,200 miles. Didn’t know if the EQ hitch would help.

Ive towed a lot of trailers behind a variety of trucks and SUVs over the years. If a SV230 is creating a sway issue on a mid to full size SUV, it sounds like a tongue weight issue to me. Too much or too little. Thats a trailer/boat issue, not a truck issue.

Yeah, tongue weight (too little).  You shouldn't need a sway control. 

Are you leaving a bunch of ballast like lead weights in the back of the boat?
