<h3>About Equalizer Hitch (Equal-i-zer®)</h3><p>When it comes to towing safety, few names carry the authority of <strong>Equalizer Hitch</strong>, the brand behind the iconic Equal-i-zer® Sway Control Hitch. For more than half a century, Equalizer has focused on providing customers with outstanding towing performance and unmatched quality craftsmanship. What began as a singular mission — to make towing safer for American families — has grown into a comprehensive lineup of hitching, locking, and trailer accessories trusted by professionals and weekend haulers alike.</p><h3>The Equal-i-zer® Difference: 4-Point Sway Control</h3><p>The heart of the Equalizer brand is its patented approach to trailer sway. Unlike conventional ball mounts or chain-style weight-distribution systems, the patented Equal-i-zer hitch head creates two powerful points of rotational friction that work to stop side-to-side sway before it starts. This is part of a larger 4-point sway control system — four friction points built directly into the hitch — so there are no add-on sway bars or extra components to attach, store, or forget.</p><p>The practical benefits are significant. Without weight distribution, the trailer's tongue weight added to the tow vehicle can cause it to &quot;teeter-totter&quot; over the rear axle, lifting weight off the front wheels and causing a serious loss of steering and braking control. Equalizer's integrated design addresses both problems simultaneously, making it one of the most comprehensive solutions available for bumper-pull trailer towing.</p><p>Every <a href="/1551-equalizer-trailer-hitch-1212">Equalizer trailer hitch</a> is the only sway control hitch that is 100% American made, crafted from high-grade forged American steel. Available in a wide range of weight ratings from 4K to 16K lbs, it covers everything from small travel trailers to large bunkhouses or toy haulers.</p><h3>A Full Ecosystem of Towing Safety Products</h3><p>Equalizer's commitment to safer towing extends well beyond the hitch head itself. The brand offers a thoughtfully designed range of accessories that complement their hitching systems. For trailer security, <a href="/1551-equalizer-trailer-hitch-lock-14537">Equalizer's trailer hitch locks</a> include the flagship Fortress™ Coupler Lock. The most secure and universal trailer coupler lock available, it fits virtually all 1-7/8&quot;, 2&quot;, and 2-5/16&quot; tongue-type trailer couplers and uses a hardened steel reversible &quot;U&quot; shaped shackle that allows the lock to fit almost any trailer coupler style.</p><p>When it comes to hitching and unhitching your rig, Equalizer also offers <a href="/1551-equalizer-jack-14315">jack accessories</a> like the FLIP™ Jack Foot. The FLIP™ Jack Foot saves time and effort every time you hitch or unhitch — instead of stacking wood blocks or cranking your jack excessively, it drops down automatically and locks into place. With each use, the FLIP™ can save up to 48 cranks in each direction, a meaningful convenience for anyone who tows regularly.</p><h3>Why Towing Enthusiasts Trust Equalizer</h3><p>Recognized for innovation and reliability, Equalizer Hitch has earned multiple awards and accolades, reflecting a dedication to excellence. The brand's products are sold through an expansive, highly trained dealer network, with strong partnerships with skilled and knowledgeable dealers who can help you choose the best hitch for your truck and trailer. Whether you're a first-time tower or a seasoned road warrior, Equalizer's depth of product and decades of expertise make it one of the most respected names in trailering today.</p>

Product Details

The Equalizer 80002060 breakaway cable and switch is a critical safety component designed to automatically activate your trailer's electric brakes if the trailer becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle while driving. This 6-foot cable provides adequate length for proper installation while maintaining secure connection during normal towing operations.

Key Features:

  • 6-foot braided steel cable with weather-resistant coating for durability
  • Integrated breakaway switch activates trailer brakes automatically upon separation
  • Universal design compatible with most trailer brake systems
  • Required safety equipment in most states for trailers with electric brakes
  • Easy installation with included mounting hardware

The breakaway system works by pulling a pin from the switch when the trailer disconnects, which then draws power directly from the trailer's battery to engage the electric brakes. This helps prevent runaway trailers and is a legally required safety feature for most jurisdictions. Regular inspection and testing of the breakaway cable is recommended to ensure reliable operation when needed.

Great price, exactly what I needed. I will definitely return to Autoplicity for future autoparts orders! Thanks!

My son lives about 1500 miles from me. He had asked me to get him an Industries SuperFlow Hi-Volume Air Compressor for Christmas. <br>With a couple of click on my computer, the compressor was ordered to be shipped to him and was paid for. He had the exact compressor he requested within five days.(and that included the weekend)<br>One word sums up my experience---EASY

Purchased multiple times from autoplicity and I love it

Very quick service and lowest price.
