Check out www.rv.net, in the Towing forum, for lots of discussion on the Equal-I-Zer -vs- Reese Dual Cam hitches. I haven't used either of them, but both are said to be the best of the 'affordable' hitches (in comparison the cost of a Hensley or Pullright).

We plan on using one with our F-150 Super-crew, do you know much about them? (We have learned a little) We plan on pulling about 7500 pounds with it, it is supposed to cast the hitch weight out evenly to both of your trucks axles. Doing this through reverse camber with tension rods, and chain lock downs.

I've used my Equalizer hitch on my 98 F150, my 03 Av 1500 and once my F350 arrives it will be used on it as well. I've used it on two trailers and felt its a good hitch for the money. A Hensley or Pullrite are probably better but at 2800 to 3000 bucks I'll stick with the $399 Equalizer.

I used mine in over 157.000 miles of towing. I used it on hot and dry roads, rainy roads, and ice and snow--although, being a Southerner, I hated THAT--and not once did I ever have a problem.
I used Ford molybednum disulfide grease on the leveling arm sockets (as well as on the trailer ball) and they had no wear at all. Considering the weather and terrain I drove through and some of the weight involved, I was really surpised by that kind of durability.
It is my considered opinion that it is the only way to go.
