Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2018 Keystone Bullet Crossfire 1900RD

Question:

Looking to install a weight distribution system on my 2013 Toyota Tacoma. It has a 4 cylinder engine, with 4 door access cab. Has a standard 6 foot bed. Trailer that I am towing is a 2018 Keystone Bullet Crossfire 1900RD. Have a friction sway control passenger side installed by Camping World. Works but does not provide level towing. Want to improve the handling and ride for my Tacoma. Thank you for your assistance.

The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.

I looked up the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of your 2018 Keystone Bullet Crossfire 1900RD and it's 4,700 lbs. That means that when loaded it would have a tongue weight rating of between 470 and 705 lbs. So the best weight distribution for that would be the Reese Strait Line kit part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs and features only sway control designed to fight sway before it starts.

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