What is the Weight Capacity of the Weight Distribution Shank Included with Reese Strait-Line 66084

Question:

What is the capacity of the hitchbar/shank 54970 that comes with this kit? Is it one forged piece or two welded pieces?

asked by: DAVID K

Expert Reply:

The included shank is part # RP54970. It is a 1 piece unit with a gross towing weight capacity of 15,000 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 1,500 pounds. It has more than enough capacity to adequately support the RP66084 WD system.
