Video Transcript for Review of CURT Weight Distribution Hitch - TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution With Sway Control - C95MJ

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Curt TruTrack two-point weight distribution system with sway control. Now this system is going to help create a more stable ride for your tow vehicle and your trailer, adding spring bars to your towing system is going to apply leverage, which is going to transfer the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer. So as you can see there by that image that I have there on your screen, you see the setup there on the left-hand side That's gonna be what it's going to look like, typically without a weight distribution hitch, all of that weight of your trailer is gonna be pushing down on the back of your tow vehicle. But as you can see with the image on the right-hand side, that's what it's gonna look like with a weight distribution hitch that is set properly in place, where it's going to evenly distribute that weight throughout. So the result of an even weight distribution is going to be a smoother, more level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your trailer hitch receiver.

Now this does have an integrated two-point sway control system that's going to limit that side-to-side movement of your trailer, and these brackets are going to keep the spring bars in place for a more rigid system that's gonna hold your trailer in line, and the steel-on-steel friction is gonna help minimize sway caused by winds and sudden maneuvers. So this is designed for your two-inch trailer hitch receiver that's rated for use with a weight distribution system, as you can see there, the tongue weight range is gonna be from 500 to 800 pounds, and the maximum gross towing weight is 8,000 pounds. Now the tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining the size, weight distribution system that you should use, which size of system you should use rather. So if the bars of the system that you choose are rated too high for your setup, that's gonna create a rigid ride, which can result in a trailer that's bouncing. If on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, then the system is gonna be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.

So to determine the proper weight rating for a weight distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight and then add to the weight, add to that weight, the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Those two measurements are gonna make up the tongue weight rating for a weight distribution system. So just kind of giving you a closer view here, so you can see it from a different angle here, the desired tilt is gonna be easily achieved with this system with the pivot point on the system head, so as you can see, you're gonna be able to tilt this the way that you need it, Let me go back to my wide view here, real quick. You might be able to see that a little bit better. So you're gonna get that tilt that's gonna work best for you.

And then you can lock that angle into place with the included hardware here, so it's gonna be very easy to get that tilt that you're looking for. And then this doesn't use washers or anything like that, so it's gonna be very simple to get that tilt locked into place. This shank is seven holes, and the shank itself measures overall height-wise, is about 9 1/2 inches. And then that shank is gonna give you a maximum drop of about 1/2 inch. And then when you flip that shank over, a maximum rise of about six inches.

And the holes here are spaced right at about 1 1/4 inches apart on center. Now these no-drill clamp-on brackets are gonna mount directly to your trailer frame, and these are gonna work with a maximum, a trailer frame with a maximum height of six inches, and a maximum width of four inches, and then these spring bars are going to work with these brackets to transfer the tongue weight evenly to your tow vehicle. They are constructed of forged steel, and they're gonna secure in the system here, the system head rather, with these easy to use snapping pins, so when I'm ready to disconnect these bars from the head, I'll just push this down, and that allow me to easily remove the bar, so it's gonna be a a relatively easy system to get set up. This does feature a black carbide powder coat finish. So not only does the system look good, I think it's gonna hold up really well for you, it's gonna do a great job of fighting against rust and corrosion, and this does include everything that you see here. It includes this snap-up handle to get the bars into place, into the brackets here, but obviously, it includes a head assembly, that ball is a 2-5/16-inch ball, and it also includes the shank that we talked about, that's gonna slide into your two-inch receiver, the spring bars, and the sway control brackets, and we mentioned, the ball, the pins, and the clips. Basically everything that you're going to need to get this in place along with instructions, it's a great set of instructions to help you get set up and going down the road.
