Which Weight Distribution Hitch for a 2009 Toyota Higlander Pulling a 3,500 Pound Trailer

Expert Reply:

For a weight distribution system, you could use the Single Bar Weight Distribution for A-Frame trailers, part # RP66069. If it is a pole tongue, I would use Single Bar Weight Distribution for Pole Tongue trailers, part # RP66071 . These kits are designed for trailers that weight up to 4,000 pounds and have a tongue weight range of 100-400 pounds. Now, if your trailer weighs more than 4,000 pounds you would need something heavier like Pro Series Weight Distribution, # 49568.

Please note, not all hitches and vehicles can take the added stress of a weight distribution system. Please check the installation instructions for your hitch. If your Highlander came with a hitch from the factory, check the vehicle owner manual. You will also need to consult the owner manual to find out if the Highlander can handle a weight distribution system.
