Question:

We just purchased a Riverside Retro 177SE and we are towing it with a 2014 Tacoma with the towing package. From what I found out on line forums the tongue wt. loaded is between 420-460 pounds and loaded trailer is 3600 pounds. I was looking at the Husky 32216 would it work well? Or is there a better option? We would like to get this before we try a highway trip.

If your loaded tongue weight is 420 to 460 lbs the Husky weight distribution system part # HT32216 that you referenced would be a great choice as it has a tongue weight range of 400 to 600 lbs.

This is a great system that will work well with your trailer. Only other option I'd recommend over this one is the Reese Strait Line part # RP66082 which has a tongue weight range of 200 to 600 lbs and also features only sway control that works to fight sway before it starts. Unlike the Husky this one does not come with a hitch ball.

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