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.
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.

I use this to pull a camper and it works great. etrailer has been great to order from and they have very good products. I have ordered several items since i ordered this hitch from them. Give them a chance, they will do you right.
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.
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.
Happy with the product. Had the trailer company set up the hitch on my Tundra with out a hitch!!! Ha.
Silverprinc - 10/31/2015I’ve used this hitch as and RV Transporter for a year now and this is a great weight distribution hitch at a great price!
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.
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.
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.
Installed on 14,500 rated trailer pulled 1400 miles round trip no issues, no sway, truck and trailer leveled out for a smooth ride.
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.
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
Like your product, but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. This is the second one we bought and both were delivered in broken damaged boxes. Luckily all the parts were there. Thanks for the quick delivery.
It does a awesome job pulling are 26 ft camper behind a half ton pickup
Review from a similar Short-Arm in Weight Distribution Hitch
My first order wasn’t the right setup for what I needed, but I called Brent J at etrailer.com and he helped me get the first order returned. Then he took the time to get my order right (to research it) by looking at diagrams and pictures making sure it was what I needed and that I got everything I needed. He was so nice and very professional. The Curt Weight Distribution Hitch with Trunnion Bars (Part # C17333) was perfect for my setup. My truck pulls my trailer so smooth and I can tell a BIG difference now that I have the hitch how even and well-balanced it pulls. There’s no swaying either. So go to etrailer.com or talk to Brent J. They have all your towing needs and more, and at great prices too! Thank you so much!!

This how the box showed up with just a couple of pieces left in it. Then they act like they are doing you a favor to replace it. Package it right before you ship it.

I was hesitant to order here instead of [online] Price was cheaper with etrailer and delivered on date promised. My o ly regret was not realizing my ball was a 1" shank vice the required 1 1/4" shank. Thank you

E-trailer had just what I needed for a good price. The shorter than standard length distribution arms were just what I needed for my toy hauler. Product was well packaged. The delivery was unexpectedly FAST!!! Awesome service!

Hitch was completely worn out after a few months of daily use.

This is a serious hitch if you are needing one that allows for up to1,500lb.tongue weight. The build quality is very good and it fits our trailer which due to the V- Nose has limited space for the traditional longer trunnion spring arms. We also like the spacers that are used to position the head for placement of the spring arms. Unlike the head locks on most hitches, there is absolutely no way for this to slip or move after it is adjusted. We have no doubts that we will get years of service from it. Thank you etrailer.com!

This is a great, easy to use weight distributing hitch that fit perfected on a small 8x12' trailer and a minivan. Highly recommended. Solid and easy to assemble
