Hitch has worked well. Initially it made noise when towing. Ive since lubed the spring arms where they attach and lock in place.
by: Brandon02/16/2024
I have a 2022 Titan Pro4x with a 6-inch lift and 35-inch tires. We purchased a 2024 Grand Design Imagine 2800BH travel trailer. I knew I needed a weight distribution hitch with sway bars, and I knew I was not going with the chain-style WDH. We used the chain style with our previous travel trailer and I was white-knuckled everywhere I drove.
This hitch reduced the sway, 18-wheeler suction when they passed me, and the front end of my truck was only 1/2 inch different than when it was unloaded.
My complaints are minor but should be noted. The trailer frame brackets bent inward at the bottom bolt when tightening to 80 lbs as the instructions advised to do. Also, the bottom silver bolt of the trailer frame bracket is too long and pushes out on the L bracket where the arms rest.
The shank is designed to fit a 2-inch receiver. It is not a snug fit and was able to move up and down, plus side to side. Not only does this cause instability but it also creates noise. While it wasn't much movement, it was noticeable. I was required to purchase a hitch tightener to create a snug fit and limit movement. As much as this product costs, adding a hitch tightener (normally $12) to the package would have been appropriate.
Overall, I'd buy the product again as it does its job, but I would have first gone to a home improvement store and purchased shorter bolts for the bottom frame bracket to avoid bending the steel frame brackets.

Box came destroyed with parts falling out. No surprise, parts are missing. Will update review if Reese or etrailer are able to solve this issue without difficulty.

I am so sorry it arrived that way. I already sent a message to our customer service team to have them reach out to you about the missing pieces. Thanks for letting us know about this!
by: Duane 11/11/2022
etrailer carries a great selection of “all things trailers”. Having built several trailers previously I wish I had known about this company earlier. The explanation for each item was thorough and helpful. The order and delivery were were expedited quickly. Communication was fantastic. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to anyone looking for trailer parts and for construction of same.
Thank you etrailer!

I continue to be very pleased with the product and etrailer. If I could help assist anyone with deciding if they should purchase from this great company I would tell them “you can’t go wrong with them”! Thank you for being a highly dedicated company with great staff…often rare today.

The box arrived severely damaged. You could tell it had been damaged from the company and all taped up before shipping. Went through the parts list and was missing a part also

We would not have shipped the box this way for sure. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

Complete fiasco ordering from this site. Save your precious time and buy local or from another site. Product was received at my local distribution office and just sent back to etrailer…no explanation. I was counting on my product to arrive on a certain date in order to start our family vacation. Didn’t happen and had to cancel…paying cancellation fees. Again, no explanation, just that they would deliver a new package. It arrived today, but 7 days too late. Not pleased.
by: Alan 07/20/2022
Just bought a new travel trailer and the dealer hooked this up to my truck/trailer. 60 mile ride home and it went very smooth. I haven't taken the truck/trailer off road yet but when I do I'll have extra peace of mind know the trailer weight is properly distributed and I have the anti-sway control. The dealer wanted to sell me one of their units that was exactly the same design but over twice as much money. Reese makes good quality towing products and I'm sure I'll be happy with this equipment.

More pleased than ever to have this weight distribution hitch. Lat month we took our trailer to Bryce Canyon and the wind on the way down was blowing very hard. Semi-tractor trailers were swerving into adjacent lanes when a hard gust would hit. It was unnerving. Have the hitch didnt make the wind go away but it made it much easier to handle the wind gusts. Ive also been more conscious of other trucks pulling trailers and their trailers are swaying. Glad I made the investment of a good quality Reese hitch.
by: Randall 02/20/2024
perfect fit easy install makes traveling safer. sales rep was extremly helpful would recommend etrailer to all who needs these.As a matter of fact i already to sevral.

All equipment and hardware arrived in good packaging and all components and clear install instructions were included. My rig is stored for the winter one hour away, so installation will have to wait until Spring.

Great product, super fast shipping, great service. Did not disappoint. Made pulling my 32' trailer a breeze.
by: Jarrod12/29/2022
Josh was very helpful when I discovered that UPS had done something that made my hitch undeliverable. He expedited the process to get a new one shipped out once UPS had done their investigation. It's a very solid construction, and I am looking forward to our inaugural trip with the new camper this weekend.
by: James 08/28/2023
I would have given an Excellent rating, but etrailer had to ship three units before I finally received one. I don't totally blame etrailer, most of the blame has to go to UPS. Part of the blame on etrailer's par,t I believe has to do with their packageing of the product. When I finally received my package, the box was totally "mangled" and I was surprised that all of the parts were there. The UPS driver was really complaining about the packaging, stating "They should know better than to try to ship a 100+ pound package in a cardboard box". I agree with the driver and I think that is where the problem was with the first two packages. The box fell apart and all of the parts never made it to the next destination. As far as the product, I give it 5 stars. Getting it delivered was the problem.
by: James04/25/2024
Excellent customer service. Even when a piece didn't work out they rapidly replaced it with Excellent communication.
by: Nick07/10/2023
Very good product! Pretty easy to setup once I found the [online] video from the Reese Co. Made a world of difference when towing my travel trailer. My truck and trailer were rolling down the highway straight as an arrow. My only criticism, like many others, is that the packaging left a lot to be desired. All the parts were rattling around inside the box. They were beat up pretty bad, but it was all cosmetic. It still functioned perfectly. You could throw a little rustoleum spray paint on it if you want, and that should suffice. If they don’t want to ship it in a crate, at least bubble wrapping it may help.

Goodness me, it did have a time of it during the shipment. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. You can spray paint it with a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum.
by: Charles Schai06/15/2023
Pretty easy to assemble, getting the angle right took some time. Truck is now sitting level.
by: Jordan 06/07/2023
Way more than I need, but expecting to use it on a larger truck with this trailer. It does great to keep the taller camp we have stable and the available heights made it easy to balance and level the trailer. Easy to use once it's installed.
by: George05/20/2023
I replaced an older Reese hitch with this new one. Due to shipping damage to the box, some parts were missing when I received it. I contacted customer service about my issue. They immediately resolved it and got the missing parts shipped to me. I was completely satisfied with everyone at etrailer and will order again soon.

See what our Experts say about this Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
- Can Higher Capacity Spring Bars be Added to Pro Series 750 Pound Weight Distribution SystemThe highest replacement bars available for the RB3 system is # PS58440 which have the same weight rating. I would recommend a new system. If you want to stick with Pro Series I suggest Pro Series RB2 Round Bar Weight Distribution Kit with Shank, 1,150 lbs TW / 11,500 lbs GTW Item # RE44FR. If you want a system with sway control as well check out Reese's Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 12K GTW, 1.2K TW Item # RP66560.

view full answer... - Can You Upgrade The Reese 49912 Weight Distribution For a Higher Weight Capacity? I have a recommendation for you as I was told by Reese the 49912 # RE94FR is not upgradable to the Reese # RE44FR. Instead I recommend switching over to the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-1200. This hitch is rated for trailers up to 12,000lbs with a tongue weight of 800-1,200lbs. I like this as well as it uses trunnion spring bars which are less likely to become damaged either from bending or falling out of the hitch while you are driving. If you switch to a smaller camper you...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System Or Suspension Enhancement For My 2004 Silverado And 5K Trailer?While both of those products will help to improve your ride quality, I believe a weight distribution system will give you better results. Both will help to level your ride, but weight distribution will do a lot more to prevent and correct sway while you are towing. A great choice is the Blue Ox Trackpro # BLU36FR. This is their 6,000 lb system so it will work nicely for your 5K trailer. The Trackpro is a top quality system and is made in the USA. They are very easy to set up, install generally...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution and Sway Control for Winnebago MicroMinni 2100BHThe Reese Pro Round Bar weight distribution system would work great for your Winnebago Microminnie 2100BH but the part number you'd want is the # RE94FR which has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs which would work great for the weight of your trailer. Going with a system like the part # RE44FR which is rated much higher would give you a very harsh ride quality.

This is intended for campers with a tongue weight between 600 and 800 lbs. According to the online user manual for a 2012 Forest River Rockwood Roo 233S, you trailer has a tongue weight of about 650 lbs. The Blue Ox Track Pro will give you immediate noticeable results. It will help to level your ride, which will improve your handling, and help to prevent sway. The spring bars will keep the trailer...

With your trailer GVWR being 9465 and dry tongue weight of 650lbs you do meet all the specifications for this hitch, and can safely use it with your camper.
view full answer... - Can The Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution Shank Be Used With A Reese Weight Distribution System?Yes, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 with your Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE44FR. This shank will fit into 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers, has a tongue weight range of 600lbs - 1,400lbs, has a maximum rise of 8" and a maximum drop of 4".
view full answer... - Is A Weight Distribution System Needed To Pull My 6,000lb Trailer With My 2022 Ford F-350?Anytime a trailer's fully loaded weight is over 50% of the tow vehicles gross weight it is recommended to use a weight distribution system. I went ahead and found that your 2022 Ford F-350 has a GVWR range of 10,100lbs - 12,400lbs. If your trailer fully loaded is under 6,200lbs, then you don't technically need a WDS, but it wouldn't hurt to have one. If you're interested in a WDS, the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE44FR is a great option that'll work for...
view full answer... - Upgrading Reese Weight Distribution # RE34FR to 800 Pounds of Tongue WeightI have a higher capacity solution for you. I confirmed with Reese that they do not currently manufacture higher-capacity bars to upgrade the weight capacity of your Reese Pro Round Bar System # RE34FR. With that being said, we do carry the upgraded weight capacity model of the # RE34FR. That is the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Round Bar - 11,500 lbs GTW, 1,150 lbs TW # RE44FR. The tongue weight of this hitch is 600 lbs - 1,150 lbs.
view full answer... - Will the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit Work With Reese Weight Distribution SystemThe Reese Weight Distribution System part # RE44FR does indeed have provisions for trailer sway control via a tab on each side of the head. These tabs are designed to be used with the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit part # 83660 which installs in the hole on the tab and then onto the frame with the included bracket. The frame bracket for the weight distribution system will install in front of the frame bracket for the friction sway bar so there will be no issues.
view full answer... - Will the Reese Weight Distribution System RE44FR Allow the Tailgate To Open With Trailer AttachedThe Reese Weight Distribution Systems like part # RE44FR all come with a standard length shank which won't allow the tailgate to be opened with the trailer attached. That said, we do offer longer shanks which allow for this but they must be purchased separately, the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4600 is the most popular option. That said, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole will be 12-7/8".
view full answer... - Can 725 lbs Tongue Weight Be Used with Reese Weight Distribution # RE44FRThe Reese weight distribution system # RE44FR that you referenced has a tongue weight range of 600-1,150 lbs which means your tongue weight of 725 lbs would work perfectly. This would work great for your current trailer and if you plan to upgrade in the future it gives you room to grow as well.

view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for 1986 Holiday Rambler Alumalite TrailerI can help you determine the best weight distribution system to use, but you will need to confirm the GVWR and tongue weight of your trailer on the spec plate or sticker on the trailer. The best way to select a weight distribution hitch is with the tongue weight and GVWR of your trailer and the tongue weight should typically be 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer. Assuming you use the full GVWR of the camper then you'll need a weight distribution hitch with at least 900-lbs of capacity....
