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.


Serrated Washer System

Unique Features of Reese Trunnion-Bar Weight Distribution

The easy-to-use, serrated washers on the Reese system make adjusting the tilt of the weight-distribution head a snap. This is a huge improvement over the standard pin-and-washer method, which involves piling washers - one on top of another - onto a difficult-to-access pin. The serrated-washer system lets you easily loosen, adjust and tighten a single washer and nut on either side of the head for simple, secure positioning.



The trunnion spring bars of this system slide into the weight-distribution head for quick, easy installation. With a tapered design and hot rolled steel construction, these bars offer superior flex, ensuring a smooth, controlled ride for both your tow vehicle and your trailer. In addition, these specially designed bars have rounded, hooked ends, making them the only kind of spring bars that can function with Reese's active-style, dual-cam sway control (sold separately).

Thoroughly torture tested between 7500 lb camper and 10500 lb trailerable a houseboat. Bought the anti-sway cams separately off [online] due to availability. Combined as a system, this stopped anti-sway and saved my butt during a hard downpour rain and side winds. The cams were the difference in pulling off to get to safety vs laying on the side of road upside down like some 18 wheeliers.

Yes, its expensive. No, you dont buy another one unless you sell it with the camper / trailer.

Ive used this on 10K houseboat trailers and 7.5K campers, this is the one you are looking for. The adjustable head makes all the different in adjusting weight between front and rear truck axles. It really does remove over understeer on the truck when set correctly. This was tested from 60 - 75 MPH, no death wobble. Purchase the anti-sway arms, after one good wind sheer, your nerves will thank you.

This was my first encounter with etrailer and I have to say it was hands down the best service I have ever received! Really.. And no I don't work for etrailer!!!!!! We use to live in a country where good service was just a way of life. Today, lets face it, service is terrible! But not etrailer.. I placed an order for this product online and selected the normal shipping method by ground. I immediately got the normal email "thank you for your order". But then I got another email from an actual person, George.. George let me know the product was in their distribution facility and will ship in 24-48 hours.. To my surprise, the order shipped the same day and I received another email from a Frank stating they took the liberty of upgrading my shipping to 3 to 5 days express shipping instead of the normal 5 to 7 days at no charge to me! So my response to this was "wow great service thank you!".. Again to my surprise I received an email from a Nikki who thanked me for my positive feedback. On a side note can you believe, they actually put their direct phone with extension along their email address on the bottom of their emails so you can actually get in touch with them? I didn't think this type of stellar service existed anymore.. Kudos to etrailer.. Ok, I think I almost forgot to write about the actual product.. The product was made very well, hooked up with no issues, and when I had questions on adjustments, you guessed it, i called and emailed folks at etrailer and they actually helped me!!!! They could have sent me a box of cracker jacks and I would have given then an excellent review! :) Keep up the great work etrailer... I won't shop anywhere else for my trailer needs..



by:

Truck ended up in the shop. Blown engine. We cancelled the order for the time being. Sales rep was very helpful both in helping to order the hitch and canceling the order as a result of the engine problem.

I will seriously consider reordering a hitch from etrailer. The rep was very helpful on
helping us purchase the right hitch. It was delivered at the approximate time as promised. Unfornately we had to return it as the truck is in the garage.

Over satisfied with the Reese Straight Line hitch!! It does everything it says it will with no question!! I had a regular Reese equalizer and got a lot of sway with my 34 foot Springdale behind my 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel, and the Reese Straight Line eliminated ALL of it!! The installation process is a little tricky but with the instructions and the video etrailer has on YouTube, it worked out just great!! Completely satisfied with the help and knowledge from etrailer!!!!

Product arrived a day early. ETrailer has excellent shipping. I haven’t installed the hitch yet, however I opened the box right away. All of the parts were there and it was wrapped up very well. No scratches or chipped paint at all. Looks like a very good product. Can’t wait to use it. Thanks ETrailer.

I received box from UPS and look good. I checked up all parts and last year I bought new travel trailer They installed cheap EAZ elite and drive not safe sway. I decide to replace to new reese.Reason I would like put dual Cam High Performance in new Reese Rp66022 parts that I were ordered few parts in past and I read lot about your company that I like to read Tech experts Q & A. I felt to trust your company, lot feedback and show video and instructions.I knew your company make sure customer happy with it. I not put in hitch my truck for set up and drive yet . Here is snow and cold so I will install in soon.

This is my second weight distribution hitch, which was made by Reese and the first one was used from 1993 to 2017. Although I bought the trunnion bar hitch, as it was the same type as my first hitch, there are changes in the design of the hitch, which I believe will be improvements over the older design. I'm ready to get on the road with this Reese hitch pulling my travel trailer.



by:

Updated my weight distribution hitch from 800lb to 1200lb. Vanessa helped me get what I needed. It was shipped and delivered quickly and at a fair price.



by:

Lighting fast shipping!! Just received my hitch, and installed it last night. Straight forward instructions really took about an hour and a half by time I had it all adjusted and fit right. It seems to be well made and very heavy duty. I am super pleased with E-Trailer; their customer service is top notch (Andi Rocks!!).
I highly recommend E-Trailer for any hauling help..

  • Weight Distribution System with 5 Inch Drop Shank for a Trailer with 900 Pounds Tongue Weight
    For a total tongue weight of 900 pounds you have some options for weight distribution. We need to look at models that do not come with a shank so you can add one with the appropriate drop or close to it. Trunnion bar Reese system, # RP66022, is rated for 600 to 1200 pounds tongue weight and does not come with a shank or ball. For a shank that has 4-3/4 inches of drop when used with trunnion bars go with # RP63971. That 1/4 inch of difference will be taken up by the tongue weight pushing...

  • Determining if 2018 Toyota Tacoma Can Pull McKenzie Starwood LE 28SKS Trailer
    Based on my research it looks like the 2007 McKenzie Starwood LE 28SKS has a dry (unloaded) weight of 5,168 pounds and a GVWR (the most it can weight when fully loaded) of 7,800 pounds. I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma and found that the towing capacity for the Double Cab can vary between 3,500 pounds and 6,700 pounds depending on your exact model. Because of this large range I highly recommend visiting a local Toyota dealer with your...

  • Which Weight Spring Bars Are Recommended For Trailer With 600lbs Of Tongue Weight?
    Thanks for all of the information! It sounds like you are looking to replace just the spring bars on your weight distribution hitch. That is possible, and I would go with the 800lb bars as they will not be too stiff with 600lb tongue weight. If you can tell me exactly which model hitch you have I would be happy to recommend the correct replacement spring bars for you. If you are looking for a different weight distribution hitch, then I recommend going with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution...

  • Truck Sags from Trailer Tongue Weight with Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch
    It sounds to me that you may simply have a weight distribution system that is not rated high enough for the tongue weight (TW) of the loaded trailer. Since your truck is a recent model year, I would not expect there to be an issue with its suspension. It is simple enough to measure the fully loaded trailer tongue weight using scale # e99044. Also keep in mind that if there is any cargo in the bed that sits behind the rear axle, such as a generator or big loaded cooler, this cargo weight...

  • Sway Control Recommendation for a Jayco Discovery Pop Up Camper Trailer
    In order to use the dual cam sway control, # RP26002, you would need to have a Reese weight distribution with the cam end on the spring bars like # RP66022 as an example. If you do not have this style or weight distribution then you may be able to add a friction sway bar like # 83660. You would then need a bracket (if you do not have a weight distribution head already that can accept this type of sway control). For Class III and IV ball mounts use # RP26003. For Class II ball mounts use...

  • Availability of Replacement Trunnion Bars for Reese Weight Distribution System # RP66022
    Yes, we do offer replacement trunnion bars for weight distribution (WD) systems like the Reese # RP66022 that you referenced. You can click on the link provided to see all replacement trunnion bars for Reese and other brands. You will want to choose bars based on your system's tongue weight (TW) requirements. Each bar handles half of the rated weight capacity for the system, so for example, if your trailer TW is 600-lbs then the correct bar to use for a Reese trunnion system is part # RP22225...

  • Estimated Towing Capacity of a 1991 Chevy 1500 Pickup Truck
    Normally the towing capacity of a vehicle is in the owner's manual but I do not think Chevy put that information in for the 1991 trucks. You can check for a sticker in the driver's side door jamb. It may list gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and gross vehicle weight rating (GWR or GVWR). Gross combined is the most that the truck and trailer can weigh together. Gross vehicle weight rating is the max amount the truck by itself can weigh.

  • Why Do the Knobs of Trunnion Spring Bars on a Weight Distribution System Wear Out
    Metal to metal friction especially in something that has as much torque and spring bar pressure as a weight distribution system will eventually cause wear. For replacement bars for the part # RP66022 you would want the part # RP66009 as this is the same bar that comes with it.

You can use the 2" 10K rated # A-90 or the 2-5/16" 12K rated # 19286 depending on the size of your trailer coupler. If you don't already have a shank I'm attaching a link to our selection for you to filter through. This includes shanks like the Reese # RP54970.

    I can not speak for any manufacturers ratings either on your truck or on your OEM hitch. That being said you would need to talk to someone at the Chrysler/Dodge dealer to obtain the actual ratings on your hitch and truck. You should be able to find the tow ratings on your truck in the owners manual or inside the drivers door jamb. Also if you could find out the manufacturer of the hitch on your dodge that would help.

  • Weight Distribution for a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 and 11,182 Pound Trailer
    To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I recommend a system that is rated for 800 to 1,500 pounds tongue weight so that your trailer's tongue weight is about in the middle of that range; which is exactly where you want it to be. Trunnion bar systems...

  • Does Truck Payload Count as Tongue Weight on Trailer Hitch
    This is a really good question, but the short answer is you are fine and not above the capacity. So payload is not the same as tongue weight capacity so you don't have to take one and add it to the other, and also with weight distribution you have to factor the weight behind the rear axle of the truck as tongue weight when picking out a system, but that extra weight does not really factor against the tongue weight capacity of the hitch. That said a weight distribution is a great option...

    Thank you for providing a photo of your 1999 F-150's door jamb sticker. Usually the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) of the truck and a hitched trailer is also shown here, along with the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) - 6050-lbs in your case.

A GTW (gross trailer weight) and TW (tongue weight) capacity will be listed, as well as a GTW and TW amount for weight distribution.

    A weight distribution system will certainly help level the load and keep the truck from sagging. As you probably know the suspension on an F-350 is quite a bit heavier than that of an F-150. A weight distribution system will allow the truck to pull itself back up to level. For a trailer that weighs 10,400 pounds, I would recommend the Reese High Performance Trunnion Weight Distribution system, part # RP66022. It has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 12,000 pounds which is enough...

    Weight distribution is a good idea any time the loaded trailer weighs 50 percent or more than the vehicle. In this case, at 6,200 pounds gross trailer weight, the trailer does way more than 50 percent of the vehicle so weight distribution is a good idea. The hitch capacity is just one factor to look at. You will also want to check the towing capacities of the vehicle. Going to a hitch with a higher weight carrying capacity will do you no good if the 2005 Avalanche cannot tow the weight...

    You will need a system with a wide tongue weight capacity range. The widest range is a system rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds like # RP66022. However, there are many trailers that have tongue weights under 600 pounds. For those you would not want to use a system that is too heavy or it will not be effective and can even damage some light trailers. What you can do is add a set of alternate spring bars with a lower capacity to cover those trailers. For 200 to 600 pound spring bars that will...
