• Will Fastway e2 or Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Help Level Trailer With 330 lb Tongue Weight
  It will; what is happening is the tongue weight is creating the "V" you mentioned, so you are not towing level, and a weight distribution system is exactly what you need. This will level you out, and for your 330 lb loaded tongue weight, you do have the correct Fastway system: - Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450 The # FA92-00-0450 will correct the "V" and ensure your Jayco is level, and even though you mentioned you didn't have sway on your last trip,...

• How Much of a Rise do I Need for My 2025 Honda Odyssey for Towing a U-Haul Trailer?
  Hello Casey, Getting things ready for a U-Haul, big move coming up? I just looked up how U-Haul says to measure, and it is a little different than how we do it. On the vehicle end we measure from the ground to the inside top of the receiver, then on the trailer end to the bottom of the coupler. Since you have a 2" receiver and measured to the middle, that puts you at 14", and on the U-Haul side they measure to the middle and it is a 2" ball, so that would be 17". When I subtract the 17-14,...

• Do I Need A Weight Distribution System To Tow A 2400lb Camper With My 2012 Jeep Wrangler?
  Anytime your gross trailer weight is more than 50% of your vehicle's weight or if the rear of your vehicle sags when the trailer is hooked up you will want to use a weight distribution hitch. Since your camper weighs 2400lbs and is more than 50% of your 2012 Jeep Wrangler's estimated curb weight of 3760lbs, it is definitely recommended to use a weight distribution system. I recommend going with Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 4,500 lbs GTW, 450 lbs TW...

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For V-Nose Trailer
  Thank you for providing that picture and measurement. Based on what you have there there is definitely enough room to install a weight distribution hitch. I recommend the Fastway e2 which will require placing the brackets 27-30" back along the frame, leaving you with room to spare. The correct system will depend on the tongue weight of your loaded setup. The best way to find this is to measure with a scale like the # e99044. I have also attached an article below which covers other ways...

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for Somerset E3 Pop Up Camper
  That answer you looked at is a bit confusing and I think it gave you the wrong idea about weight distribution. A weight distribution hitch should not be selected based on your tow vehicle. The most important thing is making sure your loaded tongue weight falls into the tongue weight range of the hitch. I don't know what year or exact model you have but I'm guessing 268 lbs is the dry tongue weight. You will need to measure to see what your loaded tongue weight is, or at least find the...

• What Size Socket is Needed for the Nut on the Curt 2 Inch Hitch Ball 40004
  The 2" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 6,000 lbs # C40004 will use a 1-1/2 inch socket like # ALL643210 or a wrench. If you aren't using a torque wrench, you will need to make sure that lock washer is fully compressed to ensure that nut has been tightened enough.

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 2019 Toyota Highlander Towing 2018 R-Pod 179
  The weight distribution hitch in the question you looked at was based on the loaded trailer tongue weight. It is impossible to find the right WDH based on the vehicle alone. It looks like your 2018 R-Pod 179 has a dry tongue weight of 292 lbs so based on the GVWR you're probably maxing out tongue weight around 400 lbs. To be sure, I recommend measuring your fully loaded tongue weight setup with a scale like the # e99044. Based on that information, the Fastway e2 # FA94-00-0600 would not...

• Can Weight Distribution Hitch Be Used During 90 Degree Turns and Backing Up
  Backing up may or may not be allowed depending on the weight distribution hitch you decide to get. However, no WDH is going to allow you to make full 90 degree turns. The spring bars may come out, or the system may end up damaged, so you would need to disconnect the spring bars if you make a turn that sharp. This isn't an issue with most driving conditions, and in a lot of cases you can be careful and make a wider turn to avoid it. It sounds like you might have some specific conditions...

• Parts Needed To Add Electric Trailer Brakes to a 1997 Coleman Taos and Tow With a 2023 Kia Sportage
  First you will need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38KR for your 2023 Kia Sportage. I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0450 to connect your trailer.

• How To Install The Fastway E2 Weight Distribution System FA92-00-0450
  The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450 comes with a shank that is 8" From center of hitch pin hole to center of adjustment holes, which is about the max length that your 2021 Tesla Model Y allows for according to what the manual told you. Also, since the manual says that it only allows for up to 0.75" rise, you will not need a different shank as this has a max rise of 6" and max drop of 2". If the 0.75" rise is not enough to level your trailer, then it...

• What Size Wrench Do I Need For Ball Mount Bolts
  I can help you with this process. In addition to the wrench, you will need a torque wrench. Many of these ball mounts will have fairly high torque specs. If you have a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" shank, you will need a 1-7/8" wrench and a socket like the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket - 3/4" Drive - Chromium-Vanadium Steel, part # ALL643216. If you have a hitch ball with a 1" shank, you will need a 1-1/2" wrench and a socket like the 1-1/2" 12pt Socket - 3/4" Drive - Chromium-Vanadium Steel,...

  I have a couple options for your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. First is the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1125R which will increase the stiffness of your springs by 30%.

  The Fastway weight distribution systems are a fantastic option for your 2014 Jeep Wrangler towing a small camper trailer and exactly what I would recommend for towing a light 1,200 lb camper trailer. With that weight, the correct Fastway system is the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450.

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch System for a 2020 Toyota Sienna Hauling a 5 X 8 Trailer
  First you will need to ensure the class III receiver you have on your 2020 Toyota Sienna is rated for use with a weight distribution hitch. As an example our etrailer Receiver # e98837 can be used with weight distribution while the etrailer Receiver # e98853 can not. This is due to the construction of the hitch. The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0450 is rated for a trailer up to 4,500lbs with a tongue weight up to 450lbs. Be sure to not exceed any weight ratings for your Sienna...

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch and Brake Controller For 2017 GMC Acadia Factory Tow Package
  Your 2017 GMC Acadia Denali with the factory V92 towing package is rated to tow a trailer up to 4,000lbs. This information is directly out of the owners manual for your Acadia. I do recommend using a weight distribution hitch like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0450 with a larger trailer. This system will help to ensure that your Acadia rides level and you do not experience light steering from to much weight on the rear axle and that the trailer tracks straight with the inclusion...

• Fastway Weight Distribution System for 19 Foot E-Pro Camper with 400 lb Dry Tongue Weight
  The loaded tongue weight is the figure that is most important for picking out a weight distribution system. Based on what you mentioned and the dry weight of the trailer being 400 lbs I would be willing to wager your loaded tongue weight will be around 600 lbs. Which based on that the Fastway system part # FA92-00-0800 would be a perfect solution as it has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs and your tongue weight should fall right into the middle of. The only thing else you'd need...
