if you have a heavy pole-tongue trailer, this adapter helps with safety
by letting you use a weight distribution system.



by:

Fit perfectly, no mods required, very easy install! Would be great if they included 5” long bolts as well to fit narrower trailer tongues.



by:

So far the product has worked well based on the trailer I’m using it on which is an aluminum trailer with single pole tongue



by:

I had previously purchased a different pole tongue adapter that did not work. This one has worked perfectly with my weight distribution hitch. It is well built and heavy and my boat tows better than ever. I could not be happier.

@Leslie We're happy to hear that!

So far so good. Had a shop install this add-on bracket for my boat trailer and it allowed me to install the appropriate wd hitch for my surge brake setup and pole tongue.

I really appreciate the follow up. The hitch setup has been working out really well. I am glad I went with the product and your company. Would not hesitate to do it again.



by:

Became an excellent solution for two trailers that I had that were configured with a pole tongue style frame. Pleased with how this system has worked with my trailers and weight distribution hitch thus far. Only thing I noticed was the spacing of the holes where the bracket clamps to the tongue. My tongue dimensions did not give me a tight fit using the pre drilled holes in the brackets but a rather sizable gap between the bolts and the tongue. This was easily remedied by adding a spacer to make up the difference.

Works like a charm. I have a heavy boat / trailer with a straight (not a “v”) tongue and needed a way to hook up a distor hitch. This



by:

This pole tongue adapter arrived with two 6-inch connecting bolts that secure the four mounts under the trailer tongue. Sadly, only the outside 1.5 inches of the hex bolts were threaded, which would be great if my trailer tongue was 4 inches wide. Mine is 3 inches wide (a standard width for heavy boat trailers), so I ran out of thread before the part was secured. So I could either get a whole bunch of flat washers (Grade 5), or try to get 5 inch hex bolts. I called Reese, they are shipping me 6-inch fully threaded bolts. Not sure if that is the strongest set-up; I ended up ordering 5 inch partially threaded bolts from Grainger. Grade 5 hex bolts are NOT at [average retail stores]. So a PIT[Y] but not a deal killer.



by:

works awesome, use it for my 35 foot boat trailer. pulled it on a 1200 mile trip the first use and it was a world of difference when i hooked it up! Thanks!



by:

Stacey was very helpful in assisting me with piecing together weight distribution system. The pole tongue adapter by Reese is well built and will certainly provide the requirement needed to distribute weight. Buy with confidence!



by:

Product took 3 days to arrive-nice! Fit and finish is fantastic. I would install it now, however it is -3 out and -20 with the wind chill. Nice work etrailer! This is my second order with you and I will be back

This is extremely well built and the installation instructions were excellent. Thanks.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System and Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Tug Boat Trailer
    I did some research and your F-150 with the combination you have is the 11,600 lbs if you have the max towing package. If you do not it drops to 10,600 lbs. The upgrades you have done to your truck are really nice so I can see why you don't want to change vehicles. What I recommend is keeping your current hitch, upgrading your weight distribution system to the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 14K GTW, 1.4K TW # RP66561 because it will work well...

  • Pole Tongue Adapter for Husky Center Line Weight Distribution System
    For your application you can use the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 which works with lift brackets from all manufacturers that mount approximately 30" back from hitch ball. Since your Husky Center Line # HT32215 falls within that category and is rated for 6K (where the adapter is rated for 7.5K) this is the perfect option for you.

  • What Weight Distribution Systems Does Reese Pole Tongue Adapter Work With
    Hey Rafael, the Reese Pole Tongue Adapter part # RP58393 can work for you but it would need to be used with a Reese weight distribution system. And to pick that out I would need to know the tongue weight of your trailer as it is ready to tow.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Shank for 1,700 lb Tongue Weight Reese Trunnion Bar System
    There is not a pole tongue adapter compatible with a system rated for 1,700 lbs. The largest option is the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems - 14,000 lbs GTW, 1,400 lbs TW # RP58393, which will work only if your total tongue weight (loaded trailer tongue weight and any cargo behind rear axle of tow vehicle) is under that 1,400 lbs. If you want a compatible weight distribution shank as systems this size often don't include, I recommend the Reese Titan Weight Distribution...

  • Can Weight Distribution be Added to an Aluminum Boat Trailer with an I-Beam Pole Tongue
    To use weight distribution on a boat trailer with a pole tongue you will need to use a pole tongue adapter like # RP58393 or # RP3280. The lighter duty RP3280 cannot be used with Reese SC systems or dual-cam sway control. The higher capacity RP58393 can be used with Reese SC systems but not dual-cam sway control. In order to mount the adapter you will need to square off the tongue where the adapter will need to mount, making it a box frame in that area. This requires a qualified professional...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Pole Tongue Trailer that Weighs 5,400 lbs
    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. A system like this can be used with...

  • What Size Trailer Tongues Do Reese and Equal-i-zer Pole Tongue Adapters Fit?
    I assume you were talking about the tongue width and tongue height that the respective pole tongue adapters fit. The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 fits tongues that are between 1-5/8" and 5" wide and between 3" and 6" high while the Equal-i-zer Pole-Tongue Adapter # EQ95-01-5950 fits trailer tongues between 1" and 5" wide and between 2" and 5" high.

  • Recommended Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution Hitch for Ice Castle Fish House Trailer
    For your Ice Castle Fish House, the weight of the unit will determine what Equal-I-zer system will work best. A weight distribution system is based on the total tongue weight of the loaded trailer along with any cargo weight behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Because these trailers are fairly good sized, I'll give you a recommendation for a larger system. You want that total tongue weight to fall in the middle of the range of the system for best results. For a total tongue weight...

  • Can The Equal-i-zer Pole Tongue Adapter Be Mounted Under The Trailer Tongue?
    Hello Bob, good question. I checked with my contact at Equal-i-zer and they said the # EQ95-01-5950 Ploe Tongue Adapter should only be mounted to the top of the tongue. The Reese # RP58393 would be fine to mount under the tongue since they cover this in the instructions.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 7,500 Pound Boat Trailer with Surge Brakes
    A weight distribution system is typically needed whenever the weight of the trailer is more than 50 percent of the vehicle's weight (GVWR). Considering the 7,500 pound loaded weight of your trailer, I do recommend adding a weight distribution system. Your 2017 Tahoe weighs around 5,500 pounds. Additional indications that point to a need for a weight distribution system include sag on the rear of your truck when the trailer is hooked up, experiencing trailer sway, and difficulty steering...

  • Sway Control Options for a Straight Tongue Trailer
    I do have a possible solution for you to add sway control to your straight tongue trailer, but unfortunately adapters like part # RP58393 are not designed to be used with friction sway control units like you would find in the Kit # 83660. If you have brakes on your trailer and power running to the 12V pin on your vehicle side 7-Way the Tuson # 335TSC-1000 is an option for you. It senses when your trailer starts to sway and activates the brakes on your trailer to counter the sway. A few...

  • How to Add Sway Control to a Boat Trailer that has Surge Brakes
    Typically you will experience sway from your trailer when the trailer isn't loaded properly. It is encouraging that your engine is mainly over the axle, but it would be best to verify that the tongue weight (TW) of your trailer is 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer. A properly loaded trailer is your first step into reducing trailer sway. Since most boat trailers have a pole tongue you will need to use a pole-tongue adapter like part # RP58393 and a weight distribution (WD) system...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For 2017 Dodge Durango Towing a 22.8 Foot Cobalt 226
    For your Cobalt boat and trailer, I recommend you go with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion # FA92-00-0800. This system will give you a stronger system that will also allow you greater ground clearance. This system will handle much better for you as you travel down the road as well as when you are loading and unloading. The sharp angles won't be a problem with this system. This system is easy to engage and disengage as needed, so you will have options....

  • Parts Needed To Convert An EZ Loader Boat Trailer From Surge To Electric Brakes
    Hi Cindy, Are you wanting to transition to electric drum brakes or would you just like to switch to an electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) setup that you'd be able to use a brake controller? If you want to switch to electric drum brakes you'll need to know the axle capacity and bearing/grease seal combination for your spindle. You'll need to switch to electric drum brake assemblies, use hub/drum assemblies, will need a 7-way cable # e99010 and junction box # e99009, breakaway battery and...

  • Are There Any Weight Distribution Hitch Systems For Straight Tongue Trailers
    To attach a weight distribution hitch to your straight tongue frame you'll first need a pole tongue adapter to get mounting points for the WDH it connect to. Each adapter is brand specific so you'll want to choose the corresponding brand to the hitch you're wanting to use. We currently offer adapters for Blue Ox # BXW4023, Reese # RP58393, and Equal-i-zer # EQ95-01-5950. Each of these will fit different a different range of tongue widths and heights so you'll want to also measure the...

  • Can I Back Up w/ a Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System?
    You will be able to back up with the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution item # RE34FR set up. It may be a lot easier to remove the springbars from the weight distribution system first but it isn't necessary. You won't have any issues with this system on a 45 degree angle. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution item # RE34FR has a 6,000 lbs maximum capacity and works with trailer's that have a tongue weight between 200 lbs - 600 lbs. A weight distribution system is chosen based...

  • Sway Control Recommendation for a Straight Tongue Trailer
    The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems, item # RP3280, is not designed for use with a friction sway control bar like the Reese friction sway control kit, # 83660. The pole tongue adapter is designed for use with a weight distribution system with chain hangers. I would recommend evaluating the tongue weight of your trailer. Improper trailer loading can cause a light tongue weight condition which can be the cause of trailer sway. Proper trailer loading is the best...

  • Can 36 TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension For 3 Inch Ford Hitch Tow 6,500 lb Boat & Trailer
    Yes it will, so long as you also use weight distribution, as the extension has a maximum capacity of 3,600 lbs towing/360 lbs tongue weight without weight distribution, but 7,200 lbs towing/720 lb tongue weight when used with weight distribution. Assuming 6,500 lbs is the combined weight of your boat and trailer, here is exactly what you will need: - TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension - 3" Ford Super Duty Factory Hitch - 36" Long # TLE1636 - TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6036 -...

  • Parts Needed to Convert a Boat Trailer from Surge to Electric Over Hydraulic
    As long as the frame on your Hoosier trailer is 3 inches wide and no more than 5 inches tall, you will be good to go. The Fulton XLT Powered Drive Trailer Jack # F141401 will fit a 3"x3" to 3"x5" frame and the Buyers Products Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler # 3370091562 will fit a 3" wide tongue, so as long as your trailer matches this, these will definitely be good options. With that being said, I do always suggest using a break away system and this will require a battery to be mounted....

  • Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for EZ Loader Boat Trailer with Surge Brakes
    Because your trailer is a straight-tongue or pole-tongue trailer, you will need a pole-tongue adapter like # RP58393. For a weight distribution system, I recommend Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution with Sway Control part # RP66561. This system is compatible with a pole-tongue adapter and with a surge coupler. The system I recommend is effective on trailers with tongue weight ranging from 70 - 1,400 lbs. I have included a link to a FAQ article on finding a trailer's tongue weight. If...

With a straight tongue your best option for adding sway control is with a complete weight distribution system that has integrated sway control along with a Pole-Tongue Adapter like # RP58393.
