When it comes to picking the correct WDS you're going to need to go off of the trailer your towing, rather than the tow vehicle.

To figure out what's going to work work best, you'll need to essentially load the trailer up with everything you'd bring/need for a trip and get the trailer weighed. What we are looking for is your total tongue weight, so after it's weighed you'll need to take a note of what that is.

From here you'll just need to pick a system that roughly puts your trailer's total tongue weight in the middle of it's tongue weight range, So for instance, if your total tongue weight was 600 lbs, something like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0800 would work perfect.

If you can let me know what you end up with I'd be happy to pick out a WDS for you, Ron. If not, you have all of the info you need to DIY.
