If you're unsure, you should probably talk to a local towing specialist. Depending on your vehicle, you may want to consider a weight distributing hitch (WDH) with sway control.

I have had big trucks fly by me with no effect. But that doesn't mean somewhere down the road I wouldn't wish I had one. My Jeep Liberty seems to control it just fine. One thing that helps me is the heavy duty suspension I have for off road. Plus it weighs 1/2 ton more than a stock Liberty!

One member on here recently said a sway bar is great insurance at a small price, a large truck or gust of wind from the side can cause you big problems. If you don't need a weight distributing hitch, this sway bar made by Curt Mfg. is very good at a reasonable price, I think I paid $49.95 through Amazon.com.

I recently installed a friction type sway bar on our 177. On the of the page on the following link there is a section on sway control. Hope it helps.

Depends on you TV whether you need one or not. If you do, just about any sway control will do.
