How to Pick Out Blue Ox Weight Distribution System for a Toy Hauler Trailer

Question

Question:

just purchased a toy hauler and want to purchase the correct blue ox sway device . My tow vehicle is 2010 1500 Silverado crew cab 5bed. The camper is a grey wolf 22rr @ 7686 GVWR and 686 hitch. The unknown for me is with the weight of my motorcycle @ about 800 lbs behind the rear axles.How do I calculate the tounge weight or do I go with the 750? Thank you for your assistance.

The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.

Once you know your tongue weight you will want to check out the link I attached that has all of the weight distribution systems we carry. You will be able to select your tongue weight from the filters to see what would be rated for your setup.

Most likely the part # BXW0750 would be too light so you would want to go with the part # BXW1000 or even the # BXW1500. But you will need to verify your tongue weight before making your decision.
