Create a more 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.

Installed in my 2019 ranger and the ride was night and day compared to no weight distribution hitch on it. The Curt system was very easy to install. Took me about 2 hours as this was my first time.
Received the hitch very quickly and installed today - overall pretty straight forward although the instructions in the box had been superseded by a revision that happily was the one you have on your website with the product - I had downloaded them to read ahead on how to install while I was waiting for the product to arrive. Although very similar, the revised instructions had the torque requirements for various fasteners that were not in the instructions that came with it. Also, the hitch sits further back than a typical 2” shank and my safety chains were to short so I had to order longer ones….from etrailer of course!
Was delivered fast and packaging was excellent.
-1 star for instructions being incorrect (that's on Curt)
-2 star bc later I unintentionally found it for $[XX] cheaper on [online vendor], then a couple days after ordering it a $[XX] rebate was offered by etrailer on Feb 1. How would I have known to wait?
Doing the installation and setup, then I will give a review after towing my 7000 lb toy hauler. The box came a bit torn, but all of the components and hardware was included. I really like etrailer.com for their fast response anytime that I order from them.
Claire H at eTrailer.com was so spot-on helpful and knowledgeable with helping me figure out what hitch would be best for my whole outfit. So refreshing to have customer service that is 110% authentic customer service! Thank you so much Claire! I've unpacked it and getting ready to hitch it up, the F250 truck is currently in the shop getting fixed
It was disappointing to me that I needed to purchase a WDH for my 21 F150 in the first place. Thanks Ford! I already had another WDH for our travel trailer so I was familiar with these already. Thi hitch was for my boat trailer which weighs in at about 8000lbs when loaded. It was a 6 hour trip to Lake Powell from our home near SLC. Hitch performed flawlessly and I couldn't be happier with what I purchased. Still upset that I had to purchase one in the first place, but happy nonetheless.
Bought this hitch to tow my camper with my new 1/2 ton truck. Hitch was a little hard to get adjusted, but that could be i had never done it before. After watching several videos i got it close. I dont think it's perfect, but does its job. Only made 1 trip using it, but it was a 900 mile round trip. Didn't have any problems with sway, and hitch is very quiet when turning. Overall very good purchase hopefully get to use it more in the future.
The best weight distribution hitch that I have ever purchased. Very easy to mount. No worries about backing up. I have pulled the enclosed trailer in very windy condition’s and trailer had just slightly movement. Highly recommend.
The hitch has worked great for our toy hauler. I’ve never experienced a failure nor has it been noisy. Setup is a bit tricky to those not having experience with adjustable hitches. The adjustment is nice but can be confusing at first time set up. The bars are easy to latch and create amazing stability on the road, I never feel the trailer behind me even on windy trips. Be sure to double check measurements and torque specs and this hitch will serve you great
I'm using the hitch to haul a 34 ft camper works good.
The hitch itself seems well made and should work fine. The directions were an embarrassment to Curt and etrailer. There were no instructions on how to make the different adjustments needed to set up a WDH. The instructions were downright wrong in several areas (talked about WD chains - there are no chains in this design) (Talked about washers to set ball angle - no washers in this design). Clearly translated by someone who does know what a hitch is. No torque values for the important bolts. I know this is a low-cost hitch but a high-quality business like etrailer ought to reconsider carrying this product.

Based on your review I believe that you may have received the incorrect manual with the Curt weight distribution. I am sending an email with a link to the manual.
Good strong hitch, easy to install
Works great.
Absouletly did the trick I pull a 30’ enclosed snowmobile trailer and with the Curt Tru Track she never sways even in high winds
The ordering and shipping process was very easy. Actually allowed one less day for shipping than Amazon so that definitely saved me time would definitely use the service again.
Relatively easy to install and makes a bid difference in the handling and weight distribution.
Don’t like the sloppy hitch when starting and stopping

If the WD shank is feeling loose, then I would recommend an anti-rattle device like part # RM-061 to help tighten it up.
I installed this unit and used it to tow a 25' Airstream with a new Land Rover Defender 110. It was easy to install and worked perfect (I had to install the hitch ball, which requires a high rated torque wrench). The difference in the drive was immediately noticeable, and I drove all through the mountains this weekend with more confidence than ever. I highly recommend.
Shipped quickly as stated & arrived in good condition. The instructions made it easy to install. I pulled a 16' cargo trailer over a 1000 miles without any issues & was very stable.
Items were in stock and shipped fast.
Much better than the old chain method
