The hitch works well going down the road. I followed all the instructions to set up the hitch and I found the recommended tension to be off (as in my front suspension would rise rather than lower). I just had to go one step further down angle to get the tension I needed. I have to hitch my truck and then jack the tongue jack way up to the point the jack will barely lift in order to get the bars on, by hand. I feel using the bar lever tool to be much more sketchy than using the chain style tool. I had a chain style hitch before and felt it worked better. Maybe my expectations are too high for a $[XX] hitch though.

Shipping Box was torn up with torn holes in it. Many main parts were missing from the torn box. Had to reorder the parts. Even paid additional money for faster shipment but it still took over 2 days to ship replacement parts from back East warehouse to courier. Apparently top management has done very little to solve this continuing shipping\warehouse problems. These type of problems start at the TOP! Technical support,Nichole H, was very nice on the phone but she could do very little with etrailer's apparent problems. No Q/A apparently at shipping Dept.Very disappointed with etrailer's upper management!! I will upload photos in an update once I learn how to get pics from my Iphone to my PC.

Package arrived quite damaged. Description of the product never stated that the "weight carrying ball mount" is only 5000lbs
by: Nathan08/18/2023
Unbelievably bad experience dealing with etrailer. The initial shipment didn't arrive until 3 days after it said it would arrive. They told me shipping dates aren't guaranteed, read the fine print (so why put a date on your website, why not be honest and say you have no idea when it will arrive?). The box had ripped open in transit because they put about 100 lbs of metal parts in a cardboard box without padding, so all the small parts fell out. It took 2 weeks to receive the second shipment. Despite telling them exactly what was missing, they sent the whole kit again, and the exact same thing happened. I now have two of all the large metal pieces, but still missing many of the nuts and bolts that hold it together. It is not worth trying to support non-Amazon retailers if this is what happens.

Product is fine, I believe Reese makes quality products. My problem is with your website. Put in the Camper/trailer you have and we will find the products that will work for you. This is the weight distribution setup recommended for my camper. Purchased it. 100% will work for me. Problem is the ball that comes with it is the wrong size for my camper. So had to purchase the right size ball as it was being installed. Will never trust your recommendations again. And not sure I will ever purchase from you again. So maybe take the time to research you products so people buy the correct items.

I can only rate this product based on the Reese brand, knowing it is going to work well. If I were to have to rate shipping, it would be one star. This box had two stops before destination and was destroyed. Not too happy that the paint is all scuffed and road rashes as well. should listen to everyone else having the exact issues with delivery
by: William 03/09/2024
Easy install. Very easy to follow this video instructions. Worked perfectly.

the hitch was delivered quickly. Box was torn up and parts may be missing.The parts I got looked good. I will install in a few days and update review.
by: Shawn 12/31/2021
Worked perfectly for my Travel Trailer. Instructions were good and the hitch works well and is easy to operate. Shipped and received in timely manner. etrailer website was easy to use and ensured I got the right equipment and video was helpful for installation. Recommend you use etrailer and Reese

Product works perfect, couldnt be happier with this purchase and customer service.
by: Ka07/01/2023
Clip that was holding 1 of the bar up broke off after 1 trip. I was able to make a makeshift clip to replace it. Told etrailer I would be perfectly happy w it if they just give me a discount. But no they insist on sending a new head unit. Fine. Now the bolt wont come off, I have to make trips to Home depot to get tools. As of now even a power impact tool cannot remove the bolt, I'm not sure what to do. Very unhappy with Reese product. Very unhappy wiht etrailer solution. Will not be returning.

What can happen is that the bolts get over-tightened. When this happens you can first try a penetrating spray lubricant like PB Blaster onto the over-tightened nuts. You would spray on the lubricant and let it sit for an hour, then reapply and let it work some more. If this does not loosen the nuts then you can try heating the nuts with a torch to make them expand. Now, once you get the nuts off of the bolts, you will need to get replacement hardware from the manufacturer, I will be sending you their information via email.
by: Ronnie03/31/2024
order arrived on time. the box was a little damaged but all parts were in tact and good shape. I put every thing together and now I am waiting to fine tune it to my trailer. It is everything I expected, the only thing is the ball shank is does not fit snuggly into My receiver. there seems to be too much play. needs some kind of a shim or spacer to tighten it up.
by: Jonathan 04/10/2024
Does what it should, and zero complaint s.
by: Brent06/16/2023
The product is working as expected and makes towing easier. I bought this product to tow a 27ft travel trailer and everything is well built and heavy duty. The install was ok with a tutorial I found on [online] by Reese .
My only issue is not with the product itself but with how it was shipped. The box was not heavy-duty enough to consider the weight of the product. The pieces are heavy and tore up the delivery box because of this I was missing a bolt and washer which was key to install. Although etrailer tried to fix the issue it was faster to go out and my local hardware store and buy the missing pieces.
by: Shanna04/08/2023
Shipping with UPS was terrible!!! Had to pick up from distribution center because they had beat the box to pieces. Luckily the parts take off list and instructions were still in the box and all parts were accounted for. Although most of the paint was rubbed off the receiver and tension bars before use it was easy to setup and install. Have yet to make a trip with them further than down the block to level parking lot.

Honestly this can happen despite our best effort to package them well. I recommend using a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum to touch up the system. I will also have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
by: Dale10/14/2022
After all the reviews I thought maybe they figured it out to package the kit a bit better but NOPE here I am needing this in two days and it’s absolutely useless now! Box came destroyed. Missing spring Bar Covers and the two pins. Anger is an understatement, I’m on a tight timeline.

I can understand your frustration with the missing parts from the WD system. Customer service will be in touch to have the missing pieces shipped out.
by: Alan01/14/2022
I have not installed the hitch yet but I've checked and all parts are there and everything is in good shape. Unfortunately the shipping box was pretty beat up and re-taped. And UPS delivered it to the wrong address. A neighbor called several hours after delivery was "confirmed." I was able to retrieve it in one piece. In addition the first one I ordered UPS took back even before it was delivered because the shipping box was coming apart. It seems that Reese should do some work on their packaging. etrailer was very responsive to the first issue and shipped out a new hitch the next day!

It sounds like the box had a rough trip for sure. This system comes with a two and five sixteenth ball. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. If your trailer coupler takes a two inch ball then I recommend part # A-90.
by: Brandon08/10/2022
How do they ship a box full of really heavy objects in a single ply cardboard box? The contents aren't individually wrapped or protected in any way, so they bang against each other, scraping the powder coating off. It looks like they were put in a parts tumbler. There was a 10"x10" section of the box almost completely gone, just being held on by a piece of tape. There was small parts just rolling around loose in the box so of course, there's parts missing. so now I have to sit on hold to get it fixed.
I tried to add more pictures of the damage to the parts, but they failed to upload.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have sent your information to our customer service team and they will be reaching out to you as soon as possible.
by: Ryan09/11/2022
Hope you don't have a problem. The hitch i ordered showed up in a mangled box and I had to order missing parts again, it happens, no big deal. The assembly required torturing down a nut that would not tighten but since I had already received parts from the factory (not my fault) they told me to go buy something at my local hardware store as they would not be helping any more. I did and got the hitch finished but will not be doing business with these people again.
by: John02/20/2020
provided shank would not work with my '15 4wd F150. Needed holes in the 90 degree angle of shank. I have not pulled trailer yet but this new WD hitch appears to be superior to my 10yo pro series trunion.

ok. etrailer sent me the correct shank. I had to hitch height one hole so I can tail gate with out striking handle area on hitch. Fords bulky handle area may be the cause. My old hitch was a little longer.
by: Harry06/26/2023
I don't know abut the quality of this hitch because I never received it from the seller. Apparently it was poorly packaged and the shipping box fell apart. I checked and this was a common issue from other buyers.
by: Scott01/25/2023
Pretty PISSED THAT THE BOX WAS OPEN ON MY DOOR STEP..

Pulling a Keystone Passport Ultra Lite with my Tundra, this made towing so much more stable. It was a night and day difference!
by: Steve 01/24/2022
So far so good. budget a couple of hours for assembly and getting adjusted just right. Also, you'll need a 1" thin walled socket - if your impact socket set doubles as your large size hand-ratchet sockets, you'll find yourself unable to tighten the top bolt on the trailer brackets - it happened to me.
by: John07/27/2022
Came missing parts due to very poor packaging. Missing instructions as well.

See what our Experts say about this Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
- What If My Trailer Wil Not Allow Me To Put Frame Brackets 27" Back From The Hitch BallThe frame brackets on the Reese round bar # RE94FR need to be located between 24-1/2" and 27-1/2" from the hitch ball. If you do not have room for the brackets we do have the Blue Ox Trackpro # BLU67FR. The frame brackets on the Blue Ox need to be mounted between 20" and 25" from the hitch ball. So you do have options and flexibility if the tongue of your trailer has limited space. Both of these systems come with adjustable shanks. So if your trailer is at an angle, you can adjust the...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System to Use with Rockwood Roo 233SI looked up the tongue weight of the Rockwood Roo 233S and for a weight distribution system that would work great with it's 500 lb dry tongue weight we have the Reese Pro Round Bar System part # RE94FR which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs. Install is not bad at all and something you could definitely pull off. Now to your question about whether or not you need a WD system...it's not going to hurt anything if you do use one, but your truck would not need one.
view full answer... - Can You Upgrade The Reese 49912 Weight Distribution For a Higher Weight Capacity? I have a recommendation for you as I was told by Reese the 49912 # RE94FR is not upgradable to the Reese # RE44FR. Instead I recommend switching over to the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-1200. This hitch is rated for trailers up to 12,000lbs with a tongue weight of 800-1,200lbs. I like this as well as it uses trunnion spring bars which are less likely to become damaged either from bending or falling out of the hitch while you are driving. If you switch to a smaller camper you...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution and Sway Control for Winnebago MicroMinni 2100BHThe Reese Pro Round Bar weight distribution system would work great for your Winnebago Microminnie 2100BH but the part number you'd want is the # RE94FR which has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs which would work great for the weight of your trailer. Going with a system like the part # RE44FR which is rated much higher would give you a very harsh ride quality.
view full answer... - Will Fastway e2 Spring Bars Fit a Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch? Only the Reese spring bars will fit in their Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE94FR. I recommend changing to the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 which I feel is a far superior system. This hitch uses trunnion bars which are held in by pins and clips. The Reese an other round bar systems use spring clips to hold in their round bars. I have seen these fail several times and the spring bar becomes lost with not replacement available.
view full answer... - Bracket Positioning for Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway ControlThe Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE94FR is designed for the mounting brackets to be positioned 24-1/2" - 27-1/2" back from center of coupler. If you're able to position the brackets about 1/2" closer to the hitch ball that gets you within the range needed for this system. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

view full answer... - Weight Distribution Hitch for 2020 Ford Ranger Towing 3,100 lb TrailerMore than likely the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR will work for your trailer. You want to choose a weight distribution hitch based on the fully loaded tongue weight of your setup, including the weight of anything behind the rear axle in your 2020 Ford Ranger. Ideally, you want to measure this with a scale like the # e99044. The tongue weight range of the # RE34FR is 200-600 lbs. As long as your tongue weight is within this range it will work well for you. Tongue weight...
view full answer... - Solution for Replacement Spring Bars for Valley Industries Weight Distribution HitchI do have a solution, but Valley Industries has gone out of business and replacement parts for your WDH are no longer available. Parts are also not interchangeable between brands. The only option if you're missing the bars is to replace the system entirely. If you want a basic weight distribution system without sway control you can use the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17051. However, for just a little bit more you can get the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE94FR which...
view full answer... - How do I Setup my Reese 49912 Weight Distribution System with Rear Air Bags on my 1996 Chevy TahoeBoth great questions! To the first yes you should re set your Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank part # RE94FR after installing the air bags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2101. As for the second question you should hook up the camper to the vehicle and level it with the air bags. Then hook up your weight distribution system. This will help to aid in your air bags and the weight distribution system working together really well and not over doing the effect.
view full answer... - Backing Trailer While Using Reese RE94FR Round Bar Weight Distribution SystemIt's not a matter of placing stress on the bars. When backing the trailer, especially at a sharp angle it's pretty easy to jackknife the trailer, and when it happens it happens very quickly. If you're backing the trailer at a fairly straight angle, you'll be fine. However if you're in a situation where you're cutting a sharp angle to maneuver into a tight spot it's best to disconnect the bars so the system isn't damaged if the trailer jackknifes. I've linked to a product description...
view full answer... - What Does Reese Round Bar WD System WeighThe Reese Pro Round Bar WD system part # RE94FR that you referenced weighs right at 100 lbs, but you should note that the weight of a WD system does not count against the tongue weight of the hitch it is used on according to Reese and other WD manufacturers. The logic is that it becomes a part of the hitch basically so it does not affect it.
view full answer... - Could Unused Lower Section of Weight Distribution Shank be Cut offYes if you wanted to cut off the bottom of the shank of your Reese weight distribution system part # RE94FR that isn't getting used it would have no affect on the higher holes of the shank that are currently being used.
view full answer... - Should You Use A Friction Style Sway Control System On A Lance 1575 Travel Trailer?Adding the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE94FR is a great idea! With your trailer being pretty heavy compared to your vehicle, you are likely going to experience some sway while driving. This is why it'd be smart to invest in a sway control system, as this will provide a more enjoyable experience and this is what they're made to fight against. Additionally, if you do not already, you're going to need a trailer hitch # 13385, a ball mount # D320, and a 7-way...
view full answer... - Is 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Air Lift Kit Needed When Towing with a Reese Weight Distribution SystemCorrect, if you didn't connect the bars on the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE94FR then that wouldn't help out with the leveling situation. The bars have a little bit of sway control built-in but their main function is the weight distribution side of things. Without the bars installed you're essentially using a really heavy ball mount. With a properly rated weight distribution system you shouldn't need the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL63WQ on your 2013...
view full answer... - Can Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System Be Backed Up WithHey George, with the Reese weight distribution system part # RE94FR you can back up with the spring bars installed only if you are going to be basically backing up in a straight line. If you are going to jackknife the trailer at all though the bars do need to come off.
view full answer... - Frame Bracket Height Max for Reese Weight Distribution SystemThe frame brackets of the Reese weight distribution system part # RE94FR can fit frame heights of up to 8 inches. There isn't a minimum listed since you could always use a metal spacer to take up extra room as needed if the frame height was shorter than the minimum bolt spacing on the brackets.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2022 Jayco 22RBI wasn't able to find a 20RB from Jayco but I did find a 2022 Jayco 22RB which has a GVWR of 6,750 lbs so for a weight distribution system the Reese round bar kit part # RE94FR would be a great option that is rated properly.
view full answer... - Can Reese Weight Distribution System # RE94FR Do Drop of 3 inchesThe shank of the Reese weight distribution system part # RE94FR that you referenced is capable of a drop of up to 6-3/4 inches so it would easily be able to handle the drop of 3 inches that you need.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2022 Honda Ridgeline Towing Trailer with 450 lb Tongue WeightThe weight distribution system that has the best sway control and is properly rated for your tongue weight that will be between 450 and 500 lbs is the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083. This would be my first pick as your best option as it has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and has the best sway control at fighting sway before it starts. Or if you were wanting something a little more economically priced the Reese round bar setup part # RE94FR would be a great choice too. The sway...

We currently do not have the capacity to change out parts like this on an order, but the Curt 2" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-5/8" Long Shank # C69FR will definitely be a good 2" ball for this system.

The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE94FR has a tongue weight range between 400 lbs. and 800 lbs. Which both the Grand River and Apex fall into. It also has a sway control bracket to help with side to side movement.
view full answer... - How Easy Is It To Install the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution SystemIt's very easy to install the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution part # RE94FR, it just takes a bit of time to go through the initial setup but then it will be much easier each time after. The hitch ball is already torqued down so all you really need to do is figure out where the frame brackets will mount on the trailer frame and what hitch head height settings to use.

I can see that the box is in rough shape. If there is any damage to the system or any missing parts please let us know. Yes you are correct in that if you just use the ball with the weight distribution head then it is rated for 5,000 pounds however when used with the bars overall system is rated for 8,000 pounds.
