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.
People often conflate sway control with weight distribution. It's understandable because most weight distribution systems on the market today do solve issues with sway.
This system will give you weight distribution only. It doesn't have any sway control built in. But if you find that you need sway control later, it's super-easy to upgrade by adding on bar-style friction sway control arm (17200 - sold separately). This option allows you to easily dial in the amount of tension with the turn of a handle. This adjustability is nice (even if it takes you a few trips to get it just right), but it doesn't play well with surge-type actuators, and it will have to be removed when backing up and any time you tow on wet or slippery roads.
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.

Hitch was completely worn out after a few months of daily use.
Excellent hitch for towing large trailers, easy to set up.
Great price, really good quality hitch. Seems like the best hitch for the money
Great service, helped me find what I needed. Shipped right away. Purchased the C17123 10 hole 7" drop shank as well for my lifted F-150. Thanks to the sales person to get me the correct parts.
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
Curt weight distribution hitch ,,fit my v nose trailer perfect after your recommendation....excellent service...fast delivery.....will buy again
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
Heavy duty kit. Worked well with addition to airbags on Durango to pull a 24' race trailer. Like the bars, much better than the round bars I had previously. Handles better also.
Product was great but the service was better!!! The carton arrived apparently damaged by the carrier with multiple pieces missing. The e-trailer staff had replacement parts sent immediately and they arrived two days later. The transaction was taken care of by e-trailer without any hesitation. Service better than I receive at many places in person. Well Done e-trailer.
Exactly what I needed for my new travel trailer. Needed a hitch to support almost 1400lbs tongue weight, this fit the bill. Package was a little damaged, but its hard to hurt a hitch, nothing was damaged. Curt install video is the first thing that comes up on youtube. Description says "short arm" model, but it looks pretty standard to me, about the same size as my old Reese hitch.
etrailer is amazing, shipping was free, and it arrived to me in 4 days!
We're a first time travel trailer owners. I purchased the CURT weight distribution hitch. It's heavy duty and easy to assemble. Then I purchased the Draw-tite electronic brake control with a Tekonsha wire harness for my truck. After watching you tube to see how to find the brake control cable on my truck and assemble the electronic brake control it all works perfectly.
It's a nicely made unit. Very heavy duty. Easy instructions to follow.
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!
Was in stock and delivered next day! Andy was helpful in getting what I needed.
