towing with or without sway/weight distribution - Event Date: 10 Nov 2017 - 03 Mar 2018

I am towing my 2017.5 178 with a Toyota double cab Tundra with tow package.  I was told by multiple people that I would not need a hitch sway/weight distribution package.  I've towed two long trips and have found no problem.  I have not gone out on gale force days and tried to cross long bridges over water, but under average, daily use, I have had no problems.  No problems from tractor trailers going by or from little hitches in the road surface or abrupt curves.  I'd be interested in hearing other people's experience.

We have a 2016 Chevy 1500 pulling a 2014 r178 with a wdh and last year when in Texas I was glad we had it with side winds.

I tried towing our 177 without an anti-sway system.  It was ok but when I looked in the mirror, I saw the Pod oscillating more than I was comfortable with.  So, we got the Andersen system.  The sway is noticeably better.  The weight distribution portion seems pretty minimal.

I'd buy an anti-sway system again.

Once you get west of the Mississippi, wind will not be your friend.

I have only towed WITH wdh. I am one of those better to have and not need, than need and not have guys. I figure the cost of having it is minimal, and the potential cost of property or life without it is great. Anything that improves my safety and is affordable, is a win. I'll never know if i didnt need it, cause i'll always have it. Some may one day find out they DID need it, i hope not. I liken it to, i could probably close my eyes and cross my street everyday, and maybe i'll never get hurt. But Is it worth the risk? That's everyones decision to make. Some will say yes, others will say no.
