• Trailer Hitch Extension for Use Behind a Truck Bed Camper
  
• I have two options that will allow for you to extend the connection point between your truck and trailer. The best option for you will depending on the gross trailer weight (GTW) and tongue weight (TW) of your trailer. As long as the GTW and TW of your trailer does not exceed 5,000 lbs and 500 lbs respectively, the Titan Hitch Box Extension part # RP45018 will work well for you as long as you trim the bar down to 41". If the GTW and TW of your trailer exceeds the above 5,000lb/500lb rating...

• Recommended Pole Tongue Adapter and Weight Distribution for V-Nose Trailer
  
• For your pole tongue trailer, I recommend the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems # RP58393 as long as the trailer manufacturer allows weight distribution systems on the aluminum frame. I've attached the dimensions to assist so you can ensure a fit for your trailer jack. Then based on your GVWR, I recommend the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion # RP66560 which will work with total loaded tongue weights between 600 and 1200 lbs....

• Weight Distribution Recommendation for Trailer with Loaded Tongue Weight of 700 lb
  
• 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. If your loaded tongue weight is 700...

• Replacement Arms and Shank for Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System

• Weight Distribution Hitch for Short A-Frame Trailer Tongue
  
• It seems like you have the basics of choosing an effective weight distribution system down, but just to be thorough it bears repeating that in order to choose the best 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 behind the rear axle of your 2017 Nissan Armada. Since your trailer weighs 4,550 lbs fully loaded, depending on how much weight you...

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 6,400 lb Trailer to Replace Andersen System
  
• The Andersen system you have now is pretty quiet but it's downside is that anything over 500 lbs of tongue weight is too much for the system to help. So your trailer being a total of 6,400 lbs means your tongue weight would be most like between 640 lbs and 960 lbs if you were loaded to the absolute max. That means the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System # RP66559 would be a great choice as it has a tongue weight range of 500-1,000 lbs. Spring bar systems are much more effective...

• Difference Between Brophy # BM20 and # BH20 Ball Mounts
  
• The Brophy Ball Mount # BM20 and the Brophy # BH20 referenced in your question are extremely similar to each other. They are both designed for 2 inch trailer hitch receivers, have a 10,000 pound towing weight capacity, feature a long, 13-1/4 inch shank and will give you either a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop. The primary difference between the two units is the ball hole diameter. The # BH20 has a 1-1/4 inch ball hole diameter, which will be compatible with a hitch ball with this same...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for 4,500 Pound V-Nose Trailer
  
• Since you do not have any frame space on which to attach sway-control brackets, I do recommend going with the Pole-Tongue Adapter # EQ95-01-5950 referenced in your question. This will let you mount the weight distribution system on your trailer tongue and can be positioned 27 to 32 inches back from the hitch ball. I have included an image that gives you a better idea as to how this will work. Then for the actual weight distribution system, we will first want to take an estimate...

• Recommended Light Weight and Easy to Use Weight Distribution System
  
• To determine the correct weight distribution system for your trailer you'll need to find its loaded and ready to tow tongue weight. Add that to the amount of weight you'll add behind the rear axle of your F-150 and you'll have the total tongue weight of your setup. You want that number to fall within the range of the system you choose. From my research the Dutchmen Aspen Trail's maximum weight is a little under 10,000 pounds which means the tongue weight is likely between 1,000 to...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for Trailer with 7,000 Pound GVWR
  
• When choosing a weight distribution system, the most important factor to consider is the total tongue weight of your towing setup. This number will include both the loaded tongue weight of the trailer (as if loaded and ready for a trip), along with any added cargo weight coming from behind the rear axle of your F-150. Ideally, this number will fall somewhere near the middle of the operating range for the system you choose. The most accurate method for determining your trailer's loaded...

• You will be okay with a 7,500 lb travel trailer with an appropriate weight distribution system based on the numbers you gave. Because you don't know what trailer you will be getting yet, the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66561 is a great option because the total tongue weight range of this system is 700 to 1400 lbs which is a broader range than most. The total tongue weight is the loaded trailer tongue weight along with any cargo behind the rear axle...

• Weight Distribution System Compatible with 2018 GMC Canyon and 4,000 lb 20 Foot Travel Trailer
  
• To get you the proper weight distribution recommendation for your trailer, I need a little more information. Most trailers have a tongue weight that is 10-15% of the total trailer weight and with that accurate loaded tongue weight, you would then need to add any cargo you carry behind the rear axle of your 2018 GMC Canyon. This will give you the total tongue weight and then you will be able to determine the correct system by ensuring you are in the middle range of the weight distribution...

• Recommended WD System and Transmission Cooler for Towing with a 2017 Toyota Highlander XLE
  
• I am glad that you have decided to use a Weight Distribution (WD) system. We always recommend going with one when your trailer weighs at least half of the weight of the tow vehicle, in your case a 2017 Toyota Highlander XLE. When looking at a WD system you will want to choose one with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go...

• Hitch Extender that is At Least 3-1/2 Inches Deep From Pin Hole to Inside Receiver Tube
  
• The Roadmaster Htich Extender # RM-071-1075 measures approximately 3 inches deep from the pin hole to the furthest point inside the receiver tube. It's also only designed to be used to flat tow a vehicle with a hitch style tow bar. It can't be used with a ball mount. The Curt Hitch Extender # C45791 has the same measurement of 3 inches and can be used for towing a trailer; however, it has a much lower weight capacity at 3,500 pounds. Also, when using a hitch extender your hitch's...

• Best Weight Distribution With Sway Control for Trailer With 1,100 lbs Total Tongue Weight
  
• The BlueOx SwayPro # BXW1506 is a good system but I recommend the Reese Strait-Line # RP66130 over it. While both systems will be less noisy than the Equal-i-zer you referred to, the Strait-Line has the advantage because of its sway control system. The SwayPro uses a 4-point sway control system like the Equal-i-zer but the Strait-Line uses a dual cam system to prevent sway. This system's spring bars are suspended by this cam system (see accompanying photo) which ensures that the Strait-Line...

• Choosing Correct Curt Weight Distribution System for Trailer with GVWR of 6,243 Pounds
  
• You upgraded your weight distribution from the Curt short-arm system, part # C17322, to the Curt TruTrack, part # C17500, which is much better system but it's still rated too high most likely. It all depends on the loaded trailer's tongue weight. Both of those systems are rated for 800 to 1,000 pounds of tongue weight. So you want the tongue weight of your loaded trailer added to the amount of weight you add behind the rear axle of your two vehicle to be between 800 and 1,000 pounds....

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for Trailer with Limited Access to Tongue Area
  
• Curt offers their Short-Arm Weight Distribution System # C17332 that is rated for trailer tongue weight in the range of 1000-lbs. This system's spring bars are 2-1/4-inches shorter, at 28-3/8-inches, than most other bars and so they can be the best option when there is limited space at the trailer tongue. All you need to add is a hitch ball, either 2-inch # A-90 or 2-5/16-inch # 19286. If your trailer nose blocks access to the side of the trailer frame where the spring bar brackets need...

• Is Weight Distribution Needed for 8,000 lb Travel Trailer Towed by 2018 F-150
  
• We recommend using a weight distribution system when the trailer weighs more than half the weight of the tow vehicle so in your case, with a 2018 Ford F-150 towing a 8,000 lb Palomino Puma 30FBSS I do recommend using a weight distribution system. This will ensure a level ride which will help you maintain control over your truck, as will the sway control. In order to choose the best weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue...

• Availability of Weigh Safe System that Includes Weight Distribution

If you need to use a WD system then I recommend using a Tongue Weight Scale # 5780 to help make finding your Tongue Weight (TW) much easier. We recommend using a WD system if your trailer weighs more than half the weight of your tow vehicle. If this is the case for you then I highly recommend using a WD system. I really...

• What is the Best Solution to Stop Trailer Sway While Towing with a New Ford F-150
  
• The best solution for you to help prevent and eliminate trailer sway while towing at speed is to use a weight distribution system even if the truck does not sag while coupled to the trailer. The reason for this is that most weight distribution systems have integrated sway control built-in. Also, the truck may still be sagging slightly even if it is not noticeable and that could be the reason one truck pulls a trailer better than the other. The two main reasons one truck would pull a trailer...
