Features to know about

Confidence on the Road: Built-In Friction Sway Control

The hitch head houses a tapered ball and a blue cone, made of anti-sway friction material. When you're pulling heavier loads, the weight forces the ball deeper into the cone so you have more friction applied. Instead of the spring bars that traditional weight distribution systems have, the Andersen weight distribution hitch has motion-dampening chains and a urethane spring, so when you hit a bump in the road or go over a bridge, the chains pull front-to-back (instead of the up and down motions spring bars have), and the spring absorbs the bounce. This gives you a stable, smooth ride even when your driving through curves, uneven roads, or wind.

Smoother, Quieter Ride

This hitch smooths out dips, bumps, and bouncing. Simple maintenance (like light cleaning) and the greaseless system stays quiet mile after mile.

Lightweight but Solid: Under 60 lbs and Easy to Handle

Unlike traditional systems that are hard to lift or install, this setup is lightweight and doesn't require a pry bar. It's strong, simple, and easy to store when not in use.

No Disconnect Needed: Back Up Without Removing the Hitch

Whether you're parking at camp or repositioning on the road, this hitch lets you reverse freely without unhooking. It's a game-changer for solo travelers or anyone who doesn't want to waste time.

Ordered on 06/18/2025 mid-afternoon and got it 06/20/2025 mid-morning! No special delivery terms applied, regular UPS. Now that is fast. I will order with etrailer again.

outstanding, shipped on time, arrived as promised!!!



by:

Met all of our expectations and beyond.



by:

Still sways more than I would like in the wake of other vehicles.



by:

Install instructions and you tube video made the process easy. Hitch worked as advertised on a test drive. Time will tell after some long distance tows. I am happy with the lighter weight than other wdhs.



by:

Product is well made. Getting the position of the brackets on the trailer A-frame is tricky. I had to move them when I noted that there is a limited amount of threads on the chain bolts so too loose or too tight can't be corrected if the brackets are over an inch one way or the other.



by:

Great price and incredibly fast shippin g.



by:

Great service, quick shipping.



by:

Great product. fits perfectly and the shipping was incredibly fast.



by:

From shipping to setup and hookup to towing the entire experience has been excellent! This was very easy to install, it is easy to hookup when towing, it doesn't make that awfull noise, and there has been no sway or sag in weight distribution. It shipped fast, the communication and help offered was outstanding, and the instructions that came with the item were more than enough.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2026 Jayco Feather 19MRK
    Hey Ray, while there certainly is a lot of appeal to the Andersen WD systems like the part # AN88VR what we have found is that if the tongue weight is more than a few hundred lbs they just don't work as well as the traditional systems that use spring bars instead. So if you wanted something simpler that would work a lot better I would go with a Fastway part # FA92-00-0800 instead.

  • Can Hitch Ball be Greased When Using Andersen Weight Distribution System
    Hey Stuart, unfortunately weight distribution systems do make some odd noises. Friction does a great job as a way to reduce sway but it does make a lot of noise. So with that said the friction in a weight distribution system is not intended to be between the hitch ball and the trailer coupler. Yes friction there would act as additional sway control...but creating wear in that area from excess friction will wear out parts that don't need to be. I would try a small amount of lithium grease...

  • Replacement 2-1/2" Shank for Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch
    Hey Mike, welcome back! The 2-1/2" shanks have the same channel size as the 2" shank for the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch so they all work for the same system. We didn't have the 2-1/2" shanks available separately so I went ahead and added them for you. There is a 6" drop/rise and 8" version, you can choose from the following: -Andersen Replacement Adjustment Shank for 2-1/2" Receiver - 6" Drop/Rise # AN75VR -Andersen Replacement Adjustment Shank for 2-1/2" Receiver - 8" Drop/Rise...

  • Comparing the Andersen Weight Distribution Systems To Friction Bar Systems
    Hey there Layla! There are a few different forms of weight distribution hitches, but the majority of the systems that have sway control use friction bars, which work similar to brake pads on your vehicle. This works really well, but it can sometimes be noisy since it is adding friction to one of the side bars to limit sway. The way the Andersen hitches are different comes down to the lack of friction bars, which makes it a quiet and simpler system to install and use. Basically the Andersen...

  • Picking Out Andersen Weight Distribution System And Adjusting It For A Level Truck And Trailer
    Hey there Michelle! While weight distribution systems are supposed to get the truck and trailer as level as possible, they are not complete miracle workers and won't make both 100% level in all situations. In fact, Andersen has a section of the instructions where they go over this exact topic as you can see in the image below. Basically it says that it's okay if the rear of the tow vehicle is slightly sagging and the trailer is level, just make sure the sag is not dramatic. One thing...

  • How Does Andersen Weight Distribution Reduce Sway Without Friction Bars?
    Nicki, that is an excellent question that we've gotten before. The Andersen weight distribution hitches work in a totally different way from competitors which allows it to remain lightweight, not bulky, and easy to install or remove. The chains you see are there to keep the trailer and truck as level as possible and are the actual weight distribution components. But as far as sway control goes, there is actually a friction cone in the head which allows weight to push the hitch ball into...

  • Can I Use Weight Distribution Hitch On 2023 Silverado 2500 With OEM Built In Electronic Sway Control
    Good morning Hurley (cool name by the way. I like the clothing brand Hurley). Also, congrats on the new-to-you Chevy! That is an excellent question that comes up from time to time on various vehicles and weight distribution systems. So on your 2023 Silverado 2500, and any other applicable vehicle, you'll want to turn off / disable the OEM electronic sway control so that you can use a weight distribution system like the Andersen WDH with 4" Drop/Rise - 16K GTW, 1.6K TW # AN33VR you were...

  • Can I Use Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank Or Other Brand With Andersen Weight Distribution?
    Good afternoon Daniel, great question! Typically the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank - 2-1/2" Hitches # 325-GH-1302 can be used with other systems as most brands of WDH use the same size shanks, but in the case of Andersen, the answer is no. The reason for this is because Andersen uses their own proprietary weight distribution shank/head and it's not interchangeable among other brands. It sounds bad, but it's actually quite good because the Andersen setup is far less bulky, way...

  • Does Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch Have More Or Less Noise Than Friction Style Equalizers?
    Hey there Luke, that's a good question. The Andersen Weight Distribution Systems are actually very quiet due to the fact that there are no friction bars like other systems have. Instead, these systems use chains for tension and a friction ball on the hitch head which adds friction as weight increases. Depending on your vehicle and trailer setup, there are a few options to look at. It looks like you have an F150 which would have a 2" receiver, so you can go with either the # AN88VR which...
