I agree that this looks like a copy of the Equal-i-zer. That makes this statement by Husky (posted on that Amazon page) hilarious:

Yeah, right...

But why would it make any less noise than an...

Not quite. Progress Manufacturing owns both Equal-i-zer and Fastway, and sells the original Equal-i-zer design under that name, plus the E2 as a Fastway. The Equal-i-zer and E2 have the same frame...

I've never had a sway problem with my 2004 Sienna and 17' trailer either and I don't have any kind of WDH or sway control device.

The traditional chain-style Pro Series WDH can be used with or without a bar-style friction-based sway control device (and Cequent / Pro Series offers this WDH packaged with a sway control), but the...

I don't think it's this site - spell checking is more likely done by your browser - but in any case some dictionaries used by spell-checkers do not include the word "coupler". On my computer, in...

While there are moving parts in a coupler, they don't move while towing and need little if any lubrication. The grease in there is usually for the contact between the ball and the coupler's socket....

:laugh:

I assume you mean ball mount, or WDH head, rather than coupler. I expect that most - perhaps all - manufacturers would say the same.
