We've got a Reese WD with the Dual cam sway control and trunnion bars. Used it to tow a Rockwood Minilite (under 5000 lbs) and now our Autumn Ridge 245DS, about 6500 lbs. One thing we love about this one is that we can back the trailer without having to remove anything.
Some systems require you to unlatch the bars before backing up.

We have the EZ hitch. Its great. Get the silencer pads or else it sounds like a coffin opening from some Vincent Price movie.

Can't go wrong any of the below:
Equalizer 4-point
Blue Ox SwayPro
Reese Dual Cam

I personally run the Equalizer.

Not sure if you are including anti-sway bars when you say WD system, but anti-sway bars help a lot with sway caused by trucks on interstates.

I've used my Camco Eaz-Lift Elite Weight Distributing Hitch System Model 48054 (Vertical Hitch Capacity 1,400 lbs and Gross Weight Rating 14,000 lbs) and a Camco Eaz-Lift Sway Control Model 48380 on 3 tow vehicles and 2 trailers with good results. The WD system was originally bought and setup by Camping World, but I moved it to the last 2 tow vehicles myself. I did have to make slight adjustments between vehicles.

First used it on a Ford Escape with 3,500 lb tow capacity and a Jayco Jay Flight Swift SLX 185RB (3,500 gross). Now using it on a Dodge Ram 1500 with 8,200 tow capacity and a Starcraft 24RLS (6,250 gross).

My WD system does add about 100 lbs at the hitch.

WD system for AR 18QB

I have a 2015 Toyota 4Runner 6 cylinder. 5000lb towing capacity. I know there's many factors for towing. What is a good WD system to use for this combination?
