W.D. Hitches....Equal vs Husky vs Eaz.... "UPDATED"
YES!!! Opinions wanted.
Equalizer 1400 vs Husky CenterLine 1400 vs Eaz Trekker 1200
They all seem very similar......
At first glance and watching the video's I really like the Husky Centerline.
But the Equalizer is crazy popular....
And the Eaz trekker looks like a real good design.
They all have 4 point resistance.....
Do you guys have any experience with these?
Thanks, Robert.

Please see post #18 on this topic, Thanks.
I have a 425 mile pull Sunday if you can wait a few days. I bought used Equalizer 1200. Pleased so far with my local test runs.
We have always used WD hitch with load bars chain and friction sway.
I am pretty confident I setup my Equalizer correctly but won't know til I get a tow in.
Thank you but I have seen the Equalizer in person. Just a bolt and a nut up front to make tension on the bars.
Everyone LOVES their Equalizer..... I understand that.
I am trying to see if anyone has the Husky Centerline or the EAZ Trekker. Those two are kinda new in the field with new and very different mechanisms than the Equalizer which just has a bolt and a nut up front vs the other two.
I'm just trying to learn the final, big picture, if there are differences on all three.

Not sure what you mean by a nut and bolt up front to make tension??? The bars sit on "L" brackets and the higher you set the L brackets the more weight you add and more friction you put on the bars so you have no problems with sway.. Very simple design but very affective! Here is a pic of the hitch setup with my old F150. I towed my 33' trailer thousands of miles without any issues..

It looks good and Thank you for posting the picture.
""Not sure what you mean by a nut and bolt up front to make tension???""
However... you are talking about the rear of the set-up.
What I mean is... Up Front....at the head unit... There is "just" a bolt and a nut holding that bar on (up front) and Equalizer the company stated that, that there is their front tension point.... Like you said "Very simple design".
The other 2 brands "Husky Centerline and the Eaz Trekker" have very different mechanisms (up front) than the Equalizer which just has a bolt and a nut up front vs the other two.
Check out those two and you will see what I am talking about.
That is what I am asking...... does anyone have the EAZ Trekker or the Husky CenterLine hitches on their trailers?
I sell and install both the equalizer & centerline along with the cheaper round bar setups.
I've used the equalizer personally in the past when I wanted a premium wd. Currently I use the Husky cheapie round bar set up w a friction sway controller. Our trailer is a 27'.
The time used the Equilizer was a toy hauler and that was prior to the centerline coming out.
The Equilizer has "4 point sway control." It is the pressure the bolts put on the reciever pockets and the l brackets for the bars. They have been along forever and everybody loves them who has them.
I like the Centerline better because while it still has bars riding on the L brackets there is constant pressure from the compression cylinders "centering the trailer" behind the tow vehicle.
If I go with another unit that is a premium setup, it would be the Husky Centerline. But I really like my cheapie setup just fine.
Fwiw I don't sell online, nor do I ship product out.

Thank you.....
I wish I could see the Husky CenterLine in action to see how well that head unit works.
