Pro Tip: Before you invest in a weight distribution hitch, make sure your cargo is evenly loaded in your trailer to keep the weight balanced. If you still have a hard time even after balancing your tongue weight, a weight distribution hitch should help.
When you turn a corner in a car and let go of the steering wheel, the wheel automatically corrects itself and returns to center. The same technology used to keep your vehicle centered on the road is what the TrackPro uses to prevent trailer sway before it even starts, no matter if it's caused by high winds or sharp turns. Pointing toward the rear of your trailer, there's a positive caster angle built into the hitch. It works in tandem with the tapered spring bars to create a self-centering force that keeps your trailer consistently centered behind your tow vehicle.
This positive caster creates another benefit - an easier installation. Since the required pitch is alredy pre-set, there's no need to fine-tune it using hard-to-access washers or a difficult-to-use thumbscrew. The only adjustment that may be needed is the placement of the head on the shank. Move the head up or down along the weight distribution shank to achieve the proper height.
If you need an option built with American-made steel that will hold your trailer in line while providing sway control, the Blue Ox TrackPro might be just what you're after. In addition to the pre-set pitch described earlier, the TrackPro creates a rigid system that holds your trailer in line behind your vehicle, helping keep your trailer from getting off track. And it uses friction to force your trailer back in line if a strong crosswind or passing truck is a bit too much for the rigid hold to handle on its own.
Because the steel-on-steel friction of the bars and L-brackets is noisy, don't be alarmed if you hear some banging, creaking, and grinding. It's just the system working to correct sway.
Fun Fact: Steel-on-steel friction is what locomotives use to keep multi-ton railcars from swaying.
Your tongue weight is the first thing you need to know when figuring out which weight distribution system you need. Most people think that if they get the highest-rated system possible, it'll be smooth sailing. But actually, this will create a rigid ride and a bouncing trailer. On the other hand, if the system isn't strong enough, it won't be able to distribute the weight properly, making it virtually useless.
Once you know your trailer's tongue weight, add it to the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Then just choose a weight distribution system rated for that combined tongue weight.

Hi there, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Blue Ox TrackPro weight distribution with sway control, 11-hole shank, 10,000 pound gross towing weight rated, and a 1,000 pound tongue weight rated. Now if you are unfamiliar with weight distribution systems, basically they're set up to ensure a level and stable ride when towing by evenly distributing the weight over the axles of your tow vehicle and trailer or camper. They're gonna help you maintain better control of your vehicle and avoid that trailer sag and excessive wear and tear on your tires and your components. So the built-in sway control, let's say you get a burst of air from, like, a semi passing you or something, that's gonna help keep you straight, and you're not gonna feel that push as much. So it's really nice.
It is made in the USA. It has a limited lifetime warranty. It has a nice heavy duty black powder coat finish on it all over all the metal. It's got nice spring clip pins. It comes with two chain links for your safety chains to mount.
It comes with your instructions. It also comes with the spring bar tool. The spring bar tool, you'll simply insert it under the spring bar. You'll get it up to a pivot point, maybe the top of the trailer frame, and you'll pivot these up onto the L brackets. And then you'll retain the pin or the spring bar with the retaining pin.
Now let's take a look here at the shank. Get a close up here. The shank is made for a 2" by 2" trailer hitch receiver. You wanna make sure to check with your manufacturer of the vehicle, or the hitch, rather, that your particular hitch is rated for use with weight distribution systems. Most are, but some aren't, so always check with the manufacturer.
Sometimes there's a sticker on your trailer hitch, but not always. It is gonna come with the hitch pin and clip. The head assembly, again, the two spring bars, as far as the drop, you're gonna get a 3" drop. And as far as a rise, you could flip this over and you could put this head on and give it a up to 17" rise. This particular ball is a 2 5/16 ball. And if you can see in here, there's a little shadow there, but there's a greaser down in there. You wanna make sure you're greasing up the pivot points here and everything where your spring bars to give it a nice, clean, smooth actuating function of the system. The whole system is a no-drill, bolt-on kit, so you don't have to worry about drilling through your frame or anything. These brackets will accommodate most things such as your propane tanks, gas tanks, battery boxes, toolboxes, maybe even a generator, whatever you got up there on your front of the camper, that should work with it. From the center of the ball back on your trailer frame, this kit needs to be within 20 to 25" from the center of this ball back. So that's your safe working area on this particular kit. Again, the tongue weight is rated between 800 to a 1,000 pounds max. The overall weight capacity of the system is 10,000 pounds gross towing weight. I hope that helped you out. This has been a look at our Blue Ox TrackPro weight distribution system with sway control, 10,000 pound rated. I'm Steven, thank you for having the time with me today. We'll see you next time.
