• Can the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Be Used with Surge Brakes
  I spoke with Gen-Y about the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount part # 325-GH-12001 and they informed me that it can indeed be used with a trailer that has surge brakes. Therefore, the up and down cushioning mechanism will not have any affect on the in and out mechanism of the surge brake actuator. If you need a hitch ball as well, you can use part # 40038 for 2" or part # 63847 for 2-5/16".

• Will Curt Hitch and Westin Step Bumper Work Together on 1997 Ford F-250 HD?
  To start with, the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper # 20002-92230 will fit your 1997 Ford F-250 HD so long as it is a standard bed model. The Curt hitch # 14001 is also a fit for '97 F-250 HD's that have step bumpers such as the Westin (I've attached a photo which shows the hitch on a truck with a step bumper) and will work for you so long as you have the larger 37-3/4" frame and not a 34" frame. The Diamondstep bumper and Curt hitch attach on different parts of the frame so they will...

• Recommended Extended Ball Mount or Hitch Extender for Towing Boat Trailer
  For your 2018 Tahoe and boat trailer needing a longer extension between them I recommend the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BM20. Having a longer ball mount like this will not reduce the capacity of your hitch at all. This will give you a length of 13-1/4 inches from the center of the ball to the hitch pin hole. For a compatible hitch ball the shank needs to be 1 inch diameter for this mount. I recommend the 2 inch ball # 40038 or...

• How to Increase Height of Trailer Hitch Ball to Allow Boat Trailer to be Towed Level
  Ideally a hitched trailer will be level to the ground. We often recommend starting off with the hitch ball being a bit higher - an inch or so - than the top of the coupler on the level trailer since once hitched there will be a degree of squat in the rear of the tow vehicle from the trailer tongue weight. This is perfectly acceptable. You can select a different ball mount for your hitch that gives you additional height (rise) by using the link provided at right. For example, if you want...

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A 2023 Jay Flight SLX 154BH And 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe
  Hi Lynn, The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17499 is rated for more than twice your trailer's GVWR so it would be too stiff to help you properly distribute the weight. The trailer's GVWR is 3,600lbs and your Santa Fe only has a 3,500lb towing capacity so you'd really need to minimize what you bring with you to avoid overloading its capacity. For the hitch I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # FA92-00-0450. This has a 4,500lb GTW...

• Trailer Hitch and Tow Capacity of 2018 Lexus RX 350
  I Googled the owner's manual for a 2018 Lexus RX 350 and it said the maximum towing capacity was 3,500 lbs, and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13272 has a 4,000 lb towing capacity so you will not have any problems using this hitch for towing less than the 3,000 lbs you mentioned. That said, we do recommend verifying all towing capacity information with vehicle manufacturers as they have the final say on these matters.

• Recommended Weight Distribution System For R-Pod With 315 Lb Tongue Weight
  When choosing a weight distribution system you wan't to find a system that is rated properly for your loaded tongue weight. You want the loaded tongue weight to fall in the center of the range that the weight distribution system spring bars are rated for. The Curt systems that you have mentioned part # C17499, part # C17500 and part # C17501 are all overrated for your tongue weight if it's 315 lbs loaded. Although the Curt systems are really great options there is not a system rated low...

• Can Trailer Hitch from 2010 Volvo XC60 Be Used on 2012 XC90?
  We do have a hitch fit for the 2012 Volvo XC90, but unfortunately the 2010 Volvo XC60 and and a 2012 XC90 use different hitches. For the 2012 XC90, I'd recommend the Curt Class IIl hitch, part # 13559. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, part # 118411, a # C45010 ball mount and for a trailer ball, use # 40038 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

• Can I Tow a 2017 Jayco Hummingbird 17FD Without a Weight Distribution System?
  For your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a weight distribution system is not required with the light weight of the travel trailer. However, the reason why many would choose to use a weight distribution system on a trailer that is 2,900 lbs is to help control sway from crosswinds and passing motorists. Because it is a rented trailer, you may not want to deal with the additional setup or cost but adding a system like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0450 will absolutely help with sway control and will...

• Can a Front-Mount Hitch and Adapter be Used to Push a Trailer Into Tight Spots?
  You certainly aren't alone having a bit of trouble backing up a long trailer. Using a front-mounted hitch is fine, but the Blue Ox adapter, # BX88132, is designed for flat-towing so it isn't going to work for you. What you can do instead is attach a fixed ball mount, and the Draw-Tite # 80248 is going to give you 9-3/4" of rise. Please keep in mind that the Draw-Tite has has a max gross towing weight (GTW) of 3,500 lbs and max tongue weight (TW) of 350 lbs in the rise position. If you...

• 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,...

• 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 Ball Mount for 2021 Subaru Outback Towing Trailer with 15-1/2 Coupler Height
  I have a solution for you, but there's not a ball mount with exactly a 1-1/2" drop. The goal is to tow your trailer as level as possible, so using a ball mount like the one that comes in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989891 that comes with a 2" drop would work just fine. This kit comes with both 1-7/8" and 2" hitch balls to allow you to cover trailers with different coupler sizes, plus a hitch pin, clip and storage bag.

• Transmission Cooler and Air Bag Kit for Towing with a 2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited V8
  An additional transmission cooler as well as some suspension enhancement will help to keep your 2008 Toyota 4Runner from wearing out as quickly because of the stress of towing. One of the best transmission coolers that we have is the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503. There aren't any specific fits when it comes to coolers so you want to try to install the biggest cooler you can. This cooler measures 11" wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. You can reference the...

• Recommended Tow Dolly for 2007 Toyota Prius behind 2017 Toyota Sienna
  The tongue weight of a tow dolly is minimal because it has the weight of the front of the tow vehicle across the axle. So you will have almost no tongue weight when using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. You will simply need to account for the towing weight of the 545 lb # RM-2050-1 along with the 2,932 lbs curb weight of your 2007 Toyota Prius. Your 2017 Toyota Sienna has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, so you can use the # RM-2050-1 and be just under your...

• 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...

• 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...

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A Jayco Jay Flight SLX 174BHW
  Hi Bill, The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450 has a tongue weight range of 200lbs - 450lbs so you'd be right around the middle of the capacity when loaded, making this a great choice. This doesn't come with a hitch ball so you'll need either a 2" ball # 40038 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # C40005 depending on your coupler size. I've attached a short video below where we'll show you how this system works.

• Trailer Hitch Ball Sizes Commonly Used With a Class III Receiver
  While most your class 3 trailer hitch receivers are rated for 3,500lbs-8,000lbs the hitch ball size is generally determined on the trailer. The 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19260 is generally found on very small trailers with a total weight below 2,000lbs. The 2" Hitch Ball # 40038 will be the most common size used on most utility trailers you would be able to tow.
