• Fastway e2 Weight Distribution for 2025 Ford F-150 Towing Enclosed Trailer
  Hello again Frank; tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight. At 5,400 lbs you could go over the max 800 lb tongue weight of the # FA94-00-0800 but that probably isn't the case here. If you really want to be sure you could always pick up a small scale like the # BTBRV004 or # BTBRV99FR. Assuming you're in that 400-800 lb range this will remove that little bit of sag (sounds like it isn't a concern but it still helps) and cut down on your trailer sway. Regarding the shank,...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for 1,175 lb Dry Tongue Weight Trailer
  With your tongue weight at 1,175 lbs when loaded, you also need to account for any cargo weight behind the rear axle as well to get the total tongue weight rating. I've attached an article to assist. You are correct that your current system is underrated for your application. My recommendation is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37140ET rated for total tongue weights between 1,000 and 1,400 lbs. You want your total tongue weight to fall in the...

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 2022 Keystone Springdale Mini 1750RD
  Hey Michelle! There are definitely a lot of different weight distribution hitch (WDH) options out there. The most important thing is to make sure it is properly rated for the tongue weight of your setup. Looking at the specs for the 2022 Keystone Springdale Mini 1750RD it has a dry (unloaded) tongue weight of 520 lbs and a GVWR of 4,400 lbs. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight so at the high end, fully loaded, you're going to be around 660 lbs. For occasional,...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2014 Airstream International
  In order to choose the correct weight distribution system for your 2014 Airstream International and your 2016 Ford F-250 we will need to find your total tongue weight (TTW). Total tongue weight is calculated by adding the loaded ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer to any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. As long as your total tongue weight does not exceed 1,000 lbs then I recommend using the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control part # BXW1006....

• 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...

• Weight Distribution System For A 8,000 Pound Boat And Trailer
  Hi Joe! A weight distribution hitch will definitely help the towing experience with your set up. Anything being towed that is over about half the weight of the vehicle will greatly benefit from using a weight distribution. With your boat/trailer weighing 8,000 pounds, I highly recommend grabbing one. So let's get into which one you should go with. I like the Fastway e2 systems as they are very effective and will likely last forever. For your weight, I recommend going with the Fastway...

• Recommended Sway Control for a 2019 Ram 1500 w/ Air Ride Pulling a Pop-Up Trailer
  Hey Chip! If you're dealing with that much sway, I would recommend a weight distribution system not one of the SumoSpring systems. I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0450. This system is built for smaller trailers like yours and works with tongue weights up to 450 lbs. With the weight of your trailer and gear combined this would definitely get that sway under control. Since you already have factory air ride and it's not helping your sway...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 3,500 lbs Trailer
  Tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's total weight so two 3,500 lbs trailers would have a tongue weight range of 350 lbs to 525 lbs. With this in mind, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion item # FA92-00-0600. The Fastway item # FA92-00-0600 has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your van when you are going down the highway and get passed by a semi or make a sudden move. It works with trailers...

• How to Determine the Correct Weight Distribution System
  I'll start with your last question concerning the trailer brakes - they will not stop your truck. As for a weight distribution system it is important that you have the correctly rated system; I don't what you have but I can tell you how to figure out what you SHOULD have. In order to choose the right weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo...

• Weight Distribution Hitch for 2020 Tacoma Towing 2025 Coleman 17B
  Hey Mark! I'm assuming you're talking about a weight distribution hitch (WDH) to keep you level and help reduce any sway. You want to choose a WDH based on the tongue weight of your loaded setup. It looks like your 2025 Coleman 17B has a dry tongue weight of 398 lbs and a GVWR of 3,990 lbs. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% so at the high end you're looking at 598 lbs of potential tongue weight. Based on those numbers I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control...

• Everything Needed for 2019 Ford Ranger
  Hi Mike, what exactly are you looking for? You looked at a weight distribution hitch (WDH), are you trying to find the right one for your setup? If you are, can you tell me more about your trailer? To find the right WDH it is important to know the tongue weight of your setup. For example, the Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution System # C69JR you looked at is designed for 800 lbs - 1,000 lbs of tongue weight. If you can add this information in the comments below I can see what the best...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 5,400 lbs 2012 Lance 1685 Travel Trailer
  Hey David. For your 2012 Lance 1685 Travel Trailer, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0800. Your Lance 1685 tops out at 5,400 lbs so this should put your tongue weight around 540 lbs - 810 lbs depending on how you load up your trailer. The Fastway e2 works with tongue weights between 400 lbs - 800 lbs. The Fastway e2 has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your tow vehicle when you're going down the highway....

• Weight Distribution Hitch For 1,000 lbs of Tongue Weight With Brackets in The Way
  Hey Rodney, appreciate the photo, it was really helpful, and we have exactly what you need here, which is the Chain Hangers # RP58305. Weight distribution hitches that use brackets aren't going to work due to the placement of your propane tank, which is why the hangers are needed. These will bolt onto your trailer frame so the brackets for your propane tank won't interfere. The weight distribution system with sway control that you'll need to go along with it is the Strait-Line Weight...

• What Air Bags and Weight Distribution System For 2023 F-250 Pulling Trailer with 1,000lbs TW?
  Hello Dan, Definitely on the right road to a smoother ride (pun intended). I would say that you knowing you are on the heavier end of the tongue weight you are safe finding one around the 1k mark. You just want to make sure you are closer to the tongue weight than the trailer weight. I am not sure how much you are looking to spend, but I set up my brother-in-law up with the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # BW28FR and he has nothing but great things to say about...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 4,000 Lb Trailer
  I have two options for you; a system without sway control in the Curt MV Weight Distribution System part # C17050 and a system with sway control in the Husky Center Line Weight Distribution System part # HT32216. These systems are both rated correctly for your 4,000 lbs trailer. I recommend the system with sway control as you will have stability during strong crosswinds or when large trucks pass by. It also comes with a 2-5/16" hitch ball which is what you need as I am not aware of a 2-5/8"...

• Weight Distribution Hitch for 2022 Coachmen Catalina Legacy 303QBCK
  Hi Jen; we don't have a way of knowing how tall the frame is on your 2022 Coachmen Catalina Legacy 303QBCK. More than likely it isn't too tall for the standard brackets on a weight distribution hitch (WDH). If you measure it and find it is taller than 6" there are different options to get around unusually tall frames so that still won't be an issue, just let me know. The correct WDH depends on the tongue weight of your setup. Looking at your trailer it has a dry tongue weight of 856 lbs....

• Will Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution 49913 Work for a 3,700 lb Camper?
  Hey Brent! The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # RE44FR (part 49913) is a great option if the 3,700 lbs of your camper is with it being empty. If you're talking about that being the GVWR though, this system will be rated too high and your towing experience will be stiff. For the 3,700 lbs being the GVWR I recommend going with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # FA94-00-0600 and Hitch Ball # C40030 instead so you get the right amount of performance...

• Can 2019 Nissan Pathfinder Use Weight Distribution Hitch
  Hey Donna, great question! Yes, it is safe to use a WDH with your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. Nissan actually recommends it if you're towing a trailer that weighs more than 5,000 lbs. Is the weight of the trailer 2,500 lbs fully loaded or empty? This is important to make sure the system is properly rated. More than likely you can use the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0600. This has a tongue weight range of 250 lbs - 600 lbs. Assuming you're properly loaded...

• Husky Spring Bars Compatibility with Trailer Hitch Weight of 476 lbs
  The Replacement Spring Bar for Husky Towing Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitches - Qty 1 # HT31521 are designed for trailers with a total tongue weight (loaded trailer tongue weight along with any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle) between 801 and 1200 lbs. These bars will be far too strong for your trailer and could cause a rough ride and even some wheel bounce. I definitely do not recommend them for your trailer. My recommendation is to use a system more suited for your...

• Recommended Suspension Upgrade and Brake Controller for a 2020 Nissan Frontier
  Hey Richard! Congrats on your new hobby! I've listed my recommendations below. 1. We don't carry shocks but to upgrade your rear suspension, you'll want the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2558. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your Frontier when you are towing a travel trailer. All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation. I also recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610 to your truck. This...

• Will Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Cause Rougher Ride
  Hey Doug! Adding the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600 to your setup will not cause a rougher ride. The only way you end up with a rougher ride is when the system is overrated. This is designed for a tongue weight range of 250 lbs - 600 lbs so that won't be an issue for you. You will also need # A-90 for a 2" ball or # C40030 for a 2-5/16" ball along with # ALL643216 for hitch ball installation. What kind of trailer do you have?

  Hey Charles, thanks for the information. It looks like your 2013 Jayco Jay Feather Ultra Lite X23B has a GVWR of just under 5,000 lbs. This would put your tongue weight between 500 lbs - 750 lbs. The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control item # C17499 you were looking at would be a good option. The Curt TruTrack item # C17499 works with a tongue weight range between 500 lbs - 800 lbs. It has built in sway control that will help keep your trailer in line behind your half...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System For Rockwood TT Trailer
  The Curt Spring Bars # C17117 will not be compatible with your Draw-Tite (Reese or Pro Series) weight distribution system. I recommend you get a new system to meet the weight of your new trailer as well as help you reduce sway. When choosing a weight distribution system, you want to calculate the total tongue weight. Total tongue weight is the trailer tongue weight when completely loaded along with any weight behind the rear axle of your 2016 Ram 2500. For your application, I recommend...
