Other than what the manufacturers tell us, it is almost impossible for any individual to offer a fair comparison of the different offerings. We usually only get to experience whatever model we chose.

None of them do everything, and what works well for one combination of truck, trailer, and road; may not work as well for other combinations. It also depends on your personal sensitivity to various motions. In researching our choice, we always heard stories of people having one brand replaced by another. We chose the Trail-air hitch and the Trail-air Equaflex suspension. They seem to work well for us, but are they the best? I honestly don't know.

Trail-air were working on developing a new version of their hitch that was intended to better combine control of both chucking and bouncing forces. Trail-air's shop is less than a mile from the Montana plant and Service Center, so we found it convenient to go there. Their people were very good to talk to, and deal with. We got to watch the entire operation being done.

(Trail-air was recently purchased by Lippert, so it remains to be seen what that will do to the factory suspension offerings).
