Questions from Ford F-150 owners about this product

• Choosing Weight Distribution System for 10,000 lb Capacity Deck Over Trailer Towed By Ford F150
  
• The first step in choosing the correct weight distribution (W/D) system is to determine the actual as-towed tongue weight of your trailer. Anything stowed in the bed of the truck behind the rear axle should be included as tongue weight. For best performance, the tongue weight of the trailer should fall as close as possible to the middle of the effective range of the system you choose.

• Weight Distribution and Sway Control for a 2012 Ford F-150 Supercrew and Jayco Jay Flight
  
• When choosing a weight distribution system, you need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If you have the trailer at the max of 10,500 pounds and tongue weight is 1,050 to 1,575 (10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight), that will tell you what weight range you will need in a weight distribution system.

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 200 Ford F-150 and 8,000 Pound Travel Trailer
  
• The type of weight distribution that has brackets mounted on the frame and does not use chains is what is called a friction system because it uses friction style sway control. A chain system would use dual-cam sway control. The systems are just different designs like you have said. When choosing a system you want one that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the total tongue weight of the trailer, loaded and ready to tow, plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle

Questions from Ford F-150 owners about this product

• Is the Pro Series SC Weight Distrubution System Compatible with Reese SC Spring Bars
  
• It sounds like you need to adjust the angle of the weight distribution head on the weight distribution shank. Angling the ball away from the vehicle will point the spring bar end down toward the ground farther before hookup and cause more pressure to be applied when the spring bars are on the spring bar platforms. Moving the hitch ball up will reduce the pressure on the spring bars and reduce the effectiveness of the weight distribution system. It sounds as if your ball height is correct wher

Just because the F-150 itself is not made for very heavy duty loads, you will probably see some sag with whatever you do, but there are some things you can do to relieve some of the pressure on the rear end.

This system has a max tongue capacity of 800 lbs, and is a round bar setup. The most notable difference between trunnion and round bar setups is how they attach to the head of the weight distribution system.The round style bars slide up into the head and are held in place with clips.

There are dual cam systems that instead of correcting sway, they hold the trailer in a straight line and keep the sway from even starting. See part # RP66072.

• Weight Distribution and Sway Control for a 2012 Ford F-150 Supercrew and Jayco Jay Flight
  
• When choosing a weight distribution system, you need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If you have the trailer at the max of 10,500 pounds and tongue weight is 1,050 to 1,575 (10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight), that will tell you what weight range you will need in a weight distribution system. The 750 to 1,000 pound system that you referenced would not have a high enough ca

• Weight Distribution and Sway Control for a 5800 Pound Trailer and 2013 Ford F-150 with Tow Package
  
• When choosing a weight distribution system you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the truck. Tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight so for a 5800 pound trailer the range would be 580 to 870 pound tongue weight (if the truck bed is empty). If you find that you will be inside of that range then a system rated for 600 to 1200 pounds tongue weight, # RP66022,

• Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for 2009 Fun Finder Trailer and 2009 Ford F-150
  
• With a trailer that weighs 5,700 pounds, plus the 300 pounds of gear, we are looking at 6,000 pounds. You will want a weight distribution system that has a tongue wight capacity range that encompasses 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight with it loaded and ready to tow. That would put your Fun Finder tongue weight at 600 to 900 pounds, so I recommend going with a system rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds like Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control, # RP66088.

• Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for a 2010 Ford F-150 and Coyote Trailer
  
• To determine the best weight distribution and sway control to use with your Coyote trailer and 2010 Ford F-150, the most important thing to consider is the tongue and gross trailer weights of the trailer. Also, check to make sure your hitch is rated for use with a weight distribution system. If your trailer weighs 4,500 pounds and has a 380 pound tongue weight, you will need a system that encompasses that range. The Reese Weight Distribution System, # RP66540, is in that range.

• Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for a 2010 Ford F-150 Supercrew 4x4
  
• I recommend a weight distribution system with dual cam sway control that prevents trailer sway before it starts. With a tongue weight of 580 pounds, you will want a system with a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses that amount of tongue weight. I recommend the Reese Round Bar Strait-Line Hitch with Shank, # RP66087. This system has a tongue weight capacity range of 400 to 800 pounds so your 580 will be about in the middle which is what you want. This system also comes with the requi

• Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation for a 1998 Ford F150 Pulling a 4700 lb Trailer
  
• For you setup I would recommend a Pro Series RB2 Round Bar Weight Distribution Kit with Shank, 800 lbs TW / 10,000 lbs GTW, part # 49569. This system has a max tongue capacity of 800 lbs, and is a round bar setup. The most notable difference between trunnion and round bar setups is how they attach to the head of the weight distribution system.The round style bars slide up into the head and are held in place with clips. The trunnion style bars slide into the head from the side or back.

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 200 Ford F-150 and 8,000 Pound Travel Trailer
  
• The type of weight distribution that has brackets mounted on the frame and does not use chains is what is called a friction system because it uses friction style sway control. A chain system would use dual-cam sway control. The systems are just different designs like you have said. When choosing a system you want one that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the total tongue weight of the trailer, loaded and ready to tow, plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2004 Ford F-150 and 2011 Eclipse 3 Horse Trailer
  
• When selecting a weight distribution system, you will want one that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the trailer tongue weight, with the trailer loaded and ready to tow, and the weigh of any gear loaded in the tow vehicle BEHIND the rear axle. Trailer tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. At capacity, 9,990 pounds, the tongue weight at 15 percent would be just under 1,500 pounds so I recommend an 800 to 1,500 pound system like the Strait-L

When choosing a weight distribution system, you will want one that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the trailer tongue weight when loaded and ready to tow.

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2005 Ford F-150 that is Lowered
  
• Weight distribution is deigned to take out any sag on the vehicle by re-distributing the weight to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer so you can have a level tow. One thing that I will warn you about is that by lowering the truck (also applies to lifted trucks) it makes the towing capacity unknown and in most cases actually reduces it. I would check with whoever did the lowering or the manufacturer of the product used if you used one to determine if the trucks towing capacity was affected

• Weight Distribution System for 2004 F150 Towing Jayco 27-Foot Trailer with 600-650 Lb Tongue Weight
  
• The ideal choice of weight distribution system will be one where your loaded trailer tongue weight falls in the middle of the systems usable range. (A system that is too low in capacity will not provide the necessary stabilization; one rated too high will be stiff and result in erratic performance.) If your actual fully-loaded trailer tongue weight is approximately 650 pounds, then the Pro Series # PS49902 is a suitable choice. You should confirm the actual tongue weight of your trailer in it

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2004 Ford F-150 Towing a Sunline Solaris Trailer
  
• In order to determine which weight distribution hitch would be the right one for your setup you will need to know the tongue weight of your towing setup. The tongue weight includes the weight of your trailer that will be on the hitch ball of your 2004 Ford Expedition, as well as any cargo behind the rear axle of your vehicle. I attached an FAQ article on weight distribution systems that details how to determine tongue weight for you to check out also. You will want to determine the tongue we

• When choosing a weight distribution system, ideally the tongue weight of the trailer will fall right in the middle of the effective range of the system. It is important that you find the tongue of your trailer when it is fully loaded and ready to tow and that you also include the weight of any cargo loaded in the bed of your 2009 Ford F-150 STX behind the rear axle. Since a weight distribution system distributes the weight from the rear axle to all axles, the weight of additional cargo behind th

• Weight Distribution/Sway Control For a 2009 Ford F-150 Towing a 4,000 Pound Trailmanor Trailer
  
• For a trailer with 350 pounds of tongue weight, the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System, # RP66086, would be a good choice. It has a tongue weight capacity range of 200 to 600 pounds which puts your trailer tongue weight in the middle of that range and that is right were you want to be. You will also want to keep in mind that when calculating tongue weight, you also have to factor in the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

• Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for a 2010 Ford F-150 with Electronic Sway Control
  
• Yes, I do agree with your assessment that mechanical sway control would be a plus if needed. I would start off with a weight distribution system that is capable of having a dual cam sway control system added to it. This way you and get the weight distribution system installed and set up properly for your truck and trailer and then take it on a test run to see if sway control is needed. If it is not needed, you do not have money invested in the extra parts. If needed you can then add the best

• What Can Cause Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution L-Brackets to Bend
  
• Sharp turns combined with too much weight for the system and L-brackets that are very tight can cause the brackets to bend.

• What Weight Distribution and Equipment is needed for a 17 Foot Casita Behind a 2001 Ford F-150
  
• The need for a weight distribution and sway control system would depend on how much the trailer weighs loaded. With a trailer that small, I doubt you will need weight distribution as you are pulling with a full size pickup truck. The size of the ball will be stamped on the coupler, probably 2 inches. You will also need a ball mount. The best way to determine which size drop ball mount you need is to measure your hitch height and coupler height. Park the truck on level ground. Measure from th

• Which Weight Distribution Hitch for a 2007 Ford F-150 Towing a 7,000 Pound 31 Foot Travel Trailer
  
• With length of 31 feet I would highly suggest using a weight distribution system with a Dual-Cam sway control system. Calculating 10-15 percent of the trailer weight gives you an approximate tongue weight range of 700-1,050 pounds. The best fit then for a weight distribution with dual cam sway control would be Reese Round Bar Strait-Line System, part # 66088. This system is a great fit for your trailer weight and the Dual-Cam Sway control will really help to keep the 31 foot trailer in line.

I would recommend the Reese SC Weight Distribution System, 800 lbs. TW / 10,000 lbs. GTW, item # RP66153, as long as your tongue weight will not exceed 800 lbs at any time. Another option, if you need sway control, would be the Reese Strait-Line Hitch 800 lbs TW / 12,000 lbs GTW, item # RP66073. The Strait-Line sway control syste

You would need to use the bolt on cams, included with the system, with your spring bars.
