Not so, I think. Any WDH with "dual-cam sway control" combines weight distribution and anti-sway. These "dual-cam" units are offered by many of the standard hitch manufacturers, such as Reese and Draw-Tite. All of these units operate in a completely different way from "friction sway control".

You might read Rocky Mountain Ray's tutorial on sway and sway control in the TM Reference Library, aka TM Info You Won't Find Anywhere Else.

We have an Equal-i-zer and I like it but it is not in the same league as the $3,000.00 Hensley (and probably several other ultra-expensive hitches). People who have owned both the Equal-i-zer and Hensley say there is no comparison and IMO an Equal-i-zer would not have prevented the type of accident that totaled Denny's TM last year or the more recent accident involving three blown tires. Hopefully it will prevent less severe sway situations however.

Anyone wanting the best possible sway control hitch will have to pay a lot more than $300-500.00 to get it.
