Question:

We own a 27.5 Premier Tracer. The unloaded trailer weight is 6322lbs. We tow it with a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn. The trucks towing capacity is approximately 9000#. We are currently using an inexpensive weight distribution hitch, but would like to upgrade to a hitch with sway control. Can you recommend our best option?

Expert Reply:

For your trailer weight and vehicle's towing capacities the best option is going to be the Strait Line system part # RP66084. This system has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs which will be perfect with the weight of your trailer and also has the only sway control system on the market that works to prevent sway before it starts.

Of all the options for weight distribution this would be your best option.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
