Features to know about

Keeps Your Trailer Steady in Wind and Traffic: Built-In 2-Point Sway Control

When strong crosswinds or passing trucks hit, sway can make towing stressful. The Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution Hitch uses rigid L-brackets that create steel-on-steel friction to hold your trailer in line. This built-in 2-point sway control limits side-to-side movement so your ride stays smooth and stable, even in rough conditions.

Balances the Load for a Level, Controlled Ride: 1,200 lbs Tongue Weight, 12,000 lbs GTW

Uneven load distribution can cause squat, poor handling, and uneven braking. This system applies leverage through round spring bars to evenly distribute the load across all axles. With a 1,200-lb tongue weight rating and 12,000-lb gross towing weight capacity, it’s made to keep both the tow vehicle and trailer level and controlled.

No Hassle Hookup and Backing: No Lift Chains and Back-Up Compatible

Traditional chain setups can shift or require disconnection when backing up. This hitch’s L-bracket system eliminates lift chains, reducing unwanted movement and noise. You can also back up without disconnecting, making it easy to maneuver in tight parking spots or campgrounds.

Built Tough for Long-Term Use: Powder-Coated Steel Construction and Pre-Installed 2-5/16" Hitch Ball

The entire system is built from durable, powder-coated steel that resists corrosion and stands up to heavy use. It includes the head assembly, adjustable 6-hole shank, 2-5/16" hitch ball, round spring bars, and all necessary hardware. Everything you need for a solid, long-lasting setup is right in the box.

Designed for Underslung Couplers: Works with 2" Hitch Receivers

For trailers with bottom-mounted couplers, this underslung design fits perfectly. It’s made for 2" x 2" hitch receivers rated for use with weight distribution systems, giving you a strong, reliable connection every time you tow.
