Hi everyone. I'm new here. I scanned the threads (like the Beatles said, "here, there and everywhere") but still couldn't get to the answer I'm looking for.
I'm picking up a Momentum 30G Toy Hauler (34') in a couple weeks and need a hitch. I thought choosing and buying a trailer was confusing, but that was just the warm up. I think I've got the weight distribution and sway basics down, but I'm still not sure how to dial in the particular model I need. Plus, there are several brands, and the reviews and prices are all over the place. Brands matter to me (thus, the GD).
I have a 2021 RAM 2500 HD with the Cummins diesel and tow package. The GCWR on the truck is ~19,000, and the trailer GVWR is 12,000. I'm not concerned with towing capacity. From what I'm seeing, Curt, BlueOx and Equal-i-izer are the preferred brands to consider. I've also seen Hensley and ProPride mentioned, apparently on the very high end.
The recommendations on etrailer for my truck (they didn't ask about the trailer) are:
Trunnion? Clamp On? Underslung? 4-point versus 7-point? One recommended with no points? I'll keep reading, learning, etc., but.... HELP!!!
I'm not concerned about the cost as much as I am about the quality, reliability and safety. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
