Doug & Kris, I think the primary purpose of an equalizing hitch is to distribute weight from the rear wheels of the tow vehicle forward to the front wheels of the tow vehicle and rearward to the trailer wheels to prevent rear end sag and overloading of the tow vehicle. Secondarily, distributing the weight probably enhances towing stability. With a one ton dually tow vehicle I doubt that you need to give either very much consideration. Try it and see how it performs. I don't think your trailer will present much of a safety threat or challenge to the big Dodge because the truck has tremendous reserve weight carrying ability and stability and clearly outweighs the trailer by a couple of thousand pounds. You might want to try a friction sleeve sway control if you sense any trailer sway caused by overtaking trucks or side winds. Enjoy your trailer.
