Weight Distributing Hitch

Create a stable ride for your tow vehicle and trailer with a weight-distribution hitch. Adding spring bars to your towing system applies leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer, resulting in an even distribution of weight throughout. The result is a smooth, level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.


Selecting a Weight Distribution System

The tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining which size weight distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride, which can result in a bouncing trailer. If, on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.


To determine the proper weight rating for a weight distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight. Then add to that the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. These two measurements make up the tongue weight rating for a weight distribution system.

Works Great, excellent service

works great!



by:

Your torsion bar hitch and service were impecable. The people at Husky Cargo trailer in Florida that built the car hauler should take lessons on how to build a trailer and treat paying customers.



by:

I appreciate that the hitch was sent out within a few hours of it being ordered.



by:

My weight distribution hitch worked perfectly. It was very easy to install and the instructions made it simple to adjust for the weight I was pulling. The sway control that I received was great as well holding me steady on the highway, even with strong cross-winds. An impressive product that I would definitely recommend.



by:

I have a 2016 F150 4x4 that I leveled and I'm pulling a V-nose enclosed car trailer. The shank that came with the hitch won't allow me to level the trailer. So I ordered a 12 inch drop shank to allow me to level the trailer. I thought the one came with it would work . I will give further review once I receive the new shank.



by:

I ordered the wrong system and had to order longer bars, they worked perfectly.



by:

I’ve used this hitch as and RV Transporter for a year now and this is a great weight distribution hitch at a great price!



by:

I had an L shaped weight distribution hitch before I bought this Curt model from E trailer.If you the coop ape the two the older one wS easier to operate. The Pins that lock the chain brackets in please are difficult to remove and adding wd40 does not help also this new one seems to be lower to the ground,, making me bend over and sometimes or even get to my knees to hook it up .My wife used to be able to help me with the older one the new one she is not able so I do both sides myself . Also the part that connects to the truck you need to hold it sideways then flip the the release up and maneuver it he top 2 tabs into place , lot more work than the L shaped one I had. It’s ok otherwise.



by:

Unfortunately, I have not been able to put my new towing system to use yet. However, the product was delivered very quickly, and shipping was free. Very satisfied with how easily the parts were to assemble. Great experience, so far, with etrailer.com



by:

have has this hitch for over a year now and have had zero issues. It is used exclusively to pull my 28 foot travel trailer. Heavy duty and easy to use.



by:

Installed on 14,500 rated trailer pulled 1400 miles round trip no issues, no sway, truck and trailer leveled out for a smooth ride.



by:

Great product came from great help



by:

Easier to use then another brand. Only problem was that somehow I bent one of torsion bar retaining clips. Was afraid I would ruin it trying to straighten it out but didn't. I use a colored zip tie to mark the proper chain link to eliminate guessing.



by:

Happy with the product. Had the trailer company set up the hitch on my Tundra with out a hitch!!! Ha.

  • Weight Distribution for a 10,000 Pound Trailer and 2004 Ford F-350 Diesel
    When calculating tongue weight to choose a weight distribution system you also have to add in the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. So the minimum weight of the trailer is around 5,000 pounds and 10,000 pounds is the gross weight. At 10 to 15 percent that puts the range at 500 to 1,500 pounds. That is a big range. But it is probably not likely that you will be at 1,500 pounds tongue weight (correct me if I am wrong). So we can look at some other systems. The...

  • How to Select a Properly Rated Weight Distribution Hitch For Towing with a 2011 Dodge Durango
    The best way to select a weight distribution system for your 2011 Dodge Durango is to weigh the trailer when it is fully loaded and ready to tow. When weighing the trailer you will need to determine the gross trailer weight and the gross tongue weight, and add the weight of anything you may have loaded in the rear of your Durango to the tongue weight. Armed with this information you can select a weight distribution system that has a tongue weight capacity and gross weight capacity that...

  • Recommendations to Reduce Sway on a Pop Up Camper that Has Weight in the Rear of Camper
    The best recommendation I could give you would be to move as much weight to the front of your trailer as possible. That will give you the best results. Sway control systems work best on setups that will start to sway when a semi-truck passes or if it's just windy in general. If too much weight is in the back of a trailer the best solution is to move the weight forward or if that's not possible add weight to the front of the trailer.

  • Can a Trailer with the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17322 Installed be Reversed
    As long as you aren't making tight turns with the trailer you can back up with the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17322. If you end up in a situation where the trailer is going to be at a sharp angle in relation to the tow vehicle then I would recommend you disconnect the spring bars and friction sway control bar to prevent damage. The friction sway bar is the most restricting component and that is why the warning for backing up with the hitch is there.

  • Can You Reverse with a Weight Distribution System Installed
    The warning for backing up weight distribution systems like the # C17322 that you referenced is because of the friction sway control system that is included. As long as you aren't jackknifing your trailer when you are backing up you should be fine. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to do that you will want to remove the spring bars and the friction sway control (if you have one) and then you would be fine to back the trailer up. It's not so much the reversing of the...

  • Weight Distribution for a Chevy Express Van 2500 and a Hornet Travel Trailer
    If your Hornet travel trailer has a tongue weight between 750 and 1,000 pounds when loaded and ready to tow combined with the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the van, then the Curt system # C17322 will work well for you.

  • Can Weight Distribution be Used on a 2001 Lexus LX 470 with Self-Leveling Rear Suspension
    You can use a weight distribution system on a vehicle with a self-leveling rear suspension like your 2001 Lexus LX470. Weight distribution can still be a good idea because it does more than just take out the rear end sag of a vehicle, it also distributes the weight more evenly to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer. The way you would set it up is to connect the trailer and allow the suspension to level it. Then you would put the spring bars into position. This may cause the system...

  • Setting Up Weight Distribution When Transferring from a 1/2 Ton Truck to a 2009 3/4 Ton Silverado
    It sounds as if your new 3/4 ton truck has might be a bit taller and the suspension is stiffer so the tongue weight of your trailer is not affecting the truck suspension nearly as much. In this case, I would recommend adjusting the height of your weight distribution head mount so that the when the trailer is coupled the trailer frame will be towed as level as possible. To adjust the ball mount, park the trailer on fairly level ground and measure from the ground up to the top of the coupler....

  • Weight Distribution System For Trailer With 4400-lbs Total Weight Capacity
    The best way to determine what system will work for you is to know what your total tongue weight is. The total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully-loaded-ready-to-tow trailer added to the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. You will then want to find a system where your total tongue weight falls near the middle of the tongue weight range for the system. Getting a system that is too small will be useless, but getting a system that is too big...

  • Can A Weight Distribution System be Left Installed When Backing Up a Trailer
    Basically with any weight distribution system/sway control you can back a trailer up with it installed IF you only plan to back up mainly in a straight line. If the trailer has to be jackknifed at all then you have to disconnect the setup. The rule of thumb I use for how tight of a turn you can go is basically how tight of an angle can your trailer be at moving forward with the steering wheel all the way turned.

  • Weight of Curt Short Arm Weight Distribution System When Installing In Hitch
    The total weight of the Curt Short Arm weight distribution system part # C17322 is 107 lbs, but you have to consider that the frame brackets stay permanently mounted to the trailer as well as the friction sway control unit. Also, the spring bars can detach from the head of the system too which allows you to take the system apart in pieces that are very reasonable in weight. So each of the bars are going to weigh around 14 lbs, and then the head and shank will weigh right at 40 lbs as they...
