When your trailer pushes down on the back of your tow vehicle, you feel it—sagging in the rear, light steering, and uneven braking. The Curt MV Weight Distribution System fixes that by spreading the load evenly across all the axles. Rated for a tongue weight of 500 lbs – 600 lbs and a maximum gross towing weight of 6,000 lbs, it gives you a level, stable ride. The included adjustable shank fits a 2" x 2" hitch receiver and offers up to 6" of rise or 2-1/2" of drop so you can dial in the perfect height.
You don’t want to worry about flex or fatigue when hauling your trailer. The Curt MV uses solid, forged steel spring bars that are tougher and more resilient than cast steel. That forging process gives them the strength to hold your trailer in line and the durability to take the bumps and dips of the road without breaking down over time.
Keeping a weight distribution hitch quiet and smooth is all about good lubrication. The Curt MV makes that simple with built-in grease zerks on each bar shaft. Just attach a grease gun and pump in fresh grease—no need to remove the bars from the head. That easy upkeep keeps your system working smoothly and helps prevent wear.
Hooking up takes less muscle thanks to the snap-up lever, which reduces the lifting required by your trailer jack. Once connected, you can fine-tune spring bar tension by switching chain links to get exactly the pressure you need. The traditional washer head tilt adjustment lets you set the proper angle for your setup using simple tools—no guesswork required.
Everything needed to get started comes in the box: head assembly, adjustable shank, round spring bars, lift brackets with chains, snap-up handle, pin and clip, and all required hardware. You’ll just add a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank (sold separately) to complete the setup. It’s a straightforward, solid system that levels your rig and keeps your trailer tracking steady mile after mile.

Still great, I’ve used it with my old Dodge Dakota and my newer Toyota Tacoma. I had to make a simple adjustment when I first started towing with the Tacoma but it is all good after the slight adjustment.

The Pole tongue adapter you purchased is designed for trailer frames up to 6 inches tall. If the chains arent long enough, lower the weight distribution head by 1-2 sets of holes and tilt the head more toward the front of the vehicle. This will bring the ends of the spring bars higher, and should allow your existing chains to work.

Wow Keith, what an awesome set-up! Thanks for including the pictures. How was your trip, where were you at in that first picture? Do you mainly get your canoe out on lakes, rivers, or creeks?
