Pair the built-in tongue weight scale on this hitch with the easy-to-use instructional app, and get the perfect towing setup. We love how Weigh Safe makes it easy to get totally balanced, but we love the smooth ride this hitch offers even more.

Note: Some Bulldog-style sleeve-lock couplers may not work with this system because of the limited space between the hitch ball and the lead screw in the system head. There is approximately 2-1/2" between the screw and the center of the hitch ball.
The most important thing you can do to ensure a safe, smooth ride when towing is making sure that your tongue weight is evenly distributed. If the balance is off, well, you've probably been there before, bouncing all over the road and getting pulled in every different direction. Simply put, when your load isn't properly distributed, your steering goes kaput.
Getting things just right can be a huge pain. First of all, depending on your trailer (and everything loaded into your truck), you may not even be able to adequately redistribute your weight on your own. You might just plain need a weight distribution system to help.
Standard weight distribution systems can be a bear. You need to manually tweak and adjust every little thing, and even then, there might be so much play in the setup that you'll still have issues with handling. The go-to for picking up that slack is typically adding sway control, but that can lead to other issues, like not being able to back up or tow in the rain.
The True Tow is designed to make solving these problems as simple as possible. No more fiddling around with hard-to-adjust parts. No more guesswork when setting things up. No more terrible sway on the highway. Just follow the setup process to get a perfectly balanced system and hit the road.
The setup steps are easy:
1. Hook your trailer up to the ball on the system head.
2. Take note of the weight on the built-in scale to make sure your tongue weight is in that sweet spot (10% to 15% of your GTW).
3. Pop into the companion app on your phone and answer a few questions, then wait for the app to give you an exact "distributed tongue weight."
4. Hook up the spring arms so the system is fully in place.
5. Adjust the lead screw on the hitch head until the scale shows the "distributed tongue weight" that the app had you shoot for.
Once you've completed all the steps, just make sure all your connections are secure and head out on your journey!

We purchased it for a trip to Florida. Stopped right now at camping world to get a different sway bar. The weigh safe one was causing the trailer to sway all over the place. We followed the app, we reached out to weigh safe and did what they suggested. It has been a horrible trip driving with this sway bar. We even took the bars off after weigh safe said to try driving it without. We need to return the product. E trailer has been amazing, just this sway bar doesn’t like our truck and trailer.
Very easy install. Item was received very quick. Have not towed with it yet. Will update after first two. Reno to San Francisco ( major mountains and curves)
Everything fits and works as it should. Excellent quality I’m totally satisfied.
This is one of the nicest hitches that I have seen. It did a great job on our road trip and the piece of mind and confidence in the wind that it gave us was worth every penny.
Rate based on early thoughts. Extremely well built with high, smooth tolerances. Instructions are well written. Haven't towed yet. Will next weekend.
Manufacturer needs to either ship in 2 boxes or redesign/increase cardboard thickness. When I received the 1 box (UPS), it was almost split in half and full of packing tape to hold box together. I was missing the lifting bar and spring arms. Those 2 items weighed 54 lb themselves. etrailer was very responsive in getting me the replacement items from manufacturer since I was picking up a new trailer in a week. Website wouldn't allow me to upload pictures.
After one tow I could a big difference from my other hitch. Great service. Received in two days from e-trailer.
Not too difficult to install, directions are clear and the e trailer video is helpful. The app was a little problematic, but the website calculator works.
Easy enough to setup using the instructions. Only critique would be the trailer brackets twist slightly on the tubing since the bolt pattern isn't identical to the tubing. I recognize its multi-trailer but wish they included some shim stock to make it more visually appealing.
I am a fan of eTrailer and this weight distribution hitch. I ordered this hitch kit, but ran into an issue in which my product did not arrive. I am not sure exactly what happened, whether there was an issue at the warehouse, or if someone possibly stole my product while in transit, but I essentially received a large empty box. I contacted eTrailer that day and they quickly worked to send out a replacement product. I just received the replacement order, and I am looking forward to assembling and using it to haul my trailer. I have ordered a few things from eTrailer and this was the first issue I have run into, but they rectified the situation quickly in a friendly and professional manner. Much appreciated and I will continue to purchase from them again.
I have received the hitch, delivery was very quick, which has always been the case with E TRAILER. I haven't installed it yet. Etrailer is my go to source for any trailer parts.

I just received the Weigh Safe Heavyweight distribution hitch. The one quite heavy as can be imagined package arrived in perfect condition. After unboxing the hitch, I’m impressed with the quality and workmanship. I can not report on the performance at this time, however the installation manual and user guide is quite clear to understand and follow. Also etrailer customer service is fantastic and I recommend purchasing anything through them as I’m a repeat customer.
Setup was quick and easy, VERY well built system. The washers they sent were not the proper grade so they split but etrailer QUICKLY replaced them as well as the brackets that were scratched while torquing. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. I have a 2022 ram 2500 Cummins on 38s with a Carli 3.5 pintop soft suspension setup with king shocks and what a difference towing. I would say this system corrected 55% of my squat issue. Granted, the system is not designed to help with squat however it did! I did tow with the system and noticed a night and day difference in trailer performance. Shipping was fantastic and the box came intact and very well put together. I received my packaged the next day with free shipping. When I called to place the order, Tiffany was kind and polite and was VERY knowledgable on products. Thank you again!
