I've been studying WD (weight-distributing) hitches all day and I came across this new idea. The Anderson WD hitch with built-in sway control. Anybody seen one or tried one?

Unfortunately, that simple setup costs a staggering $475 when you can still buy E2 WD hitches for about $232.
However, (and there is always a "however") I just talked to the designer of this KAAD Engineering hitch. He claims he based it off the Anderson hitch, and he talked to Anderson first and told them what they had done wrong. He says he's corrected Anderson's problem areas and has a better hitch (for about $69 on Amazon, and he'll send you $20 back if you write a review, good or bad). After talking to him over an hour today, I'll recap some of his sentiments (your mileage may vary). He said the anti-sway of the Anderson is built in the ball which rotates in a tapered bushing (which will wear out) to create the necessary friction. And they use less expensive poly 'springs' which are not as good as real springs. And their profit is almost $300 (the aluminum piece in theirs is the most expensive part). His design is much simpler than the Anderson as it uses a stationary ball and anchor point and real springs. He's trying to break into a market where there is a "sea of HD hitches... all based on very old technology." So he's selling them for less than it costs to produce them just to get some out on the market, and he has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Here is his website:

I'm going to get one and try it. Sure costs a lot less than the traditional type. If it doesn't work, I'm not out anything.
