Just don’t. Ordered 6/5. It is now 6/23 and I don’t have a complete hitch. Three attempts at shipping have produced two hitches that were reboxed by UPS enroute and missing parts and documentation, and the third shipment (hardware) was in perfect shape, yet failed to include all of the missing hardware that was invoiced. CS absolutely ignored comment about reimbursement for multiple trips to UPS hub to deal with damaged packages and missing parts.
Added pic of attempt #2. Evidently, if it’s got no staples, it’s not the etrailer box.

I am very sorry that this order for the weight distribution system has been so difficult. I will have our Customer Service team reach out again to make sure that you have everything that you need.



by:

I love the WD Hitch. Installation was extremely easy but would have been easier with a second person. Fits nicely on the Jeep Gladiator Sport w/o having to remove any of the reinforced bumper. Setup and removal is probably the hardest part, just because of its weigh. The receiver must weigh 60 pounds or so. Towing is amazing and had made long travel much more enjoyable and less stressful. the squat and raise in the front end was terrible until I mounted this hitch. I know my trailer isn't that heavy and only have about 500 pounds tongue weight, but this has made all the difference and I feel much safer when traveling with my family.

Tow Vehicle: 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport (No tow package)
Trailer: 2022 Forest River Rockwood 2318 esp Tent Trailer



by:

Package was received on time and UPS delivered it intact and box was in good shape even though it was very heavy. It took a couple days until I got to open it for install on my truck and trailer. I was disappointed to find that the fasteners were missing for installation of brackets on trailer frame.



by:

Exactly as advertised. My trailer runs very smooth and no swaying at all. Even in top speed of 70mph. Easy to install and store.



by:

works great on my 2021 Frontier, towing a 3500-4000 lb camper. Have run 2300 miles this season, sometimes in really windy conditions, and the hitch makes all the drama go away. Wish I'd had a similar hitch on my previous larger truck.



by:

My order was delivered in a dilapidated box that looked like it had been used several times. It was taped together to keep it from falling apart. Negative 5 stars for delivery.



by:

Worked great a bit noisy overall great product



by:

Parts were missing not sure if this was an oversight by etrailier or Reese. etrailer ordered the the missing part and is shipping priority delivery.

I haven’t assembled or installed yet. etrailier customer service is EXCELLENT. They help me find the best WDSC for my needs. Amy was was very helpful, professional and personable on ordering and shipping the missing parts.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ETRAILIER!



by:

When I went to the front door the cardboard box the hitch was in was really squished and broke open. All the parts were there I guess as there was no instruction or parts listed was there, it makes it really hard for me to figure out how to install it properly. So I guess I will have to find a camper trailer store n order to install it.

Hope it won't cost to much to properly install it. Any help would be greatly appreciate it very much.

Arrived not even in a box. Etrailer was not helpful in getting replacement parts. Took days to even hear back. Ended up just having to ship it back, now my trip is delayed trying to find a weight distribution hitch local

Oh my! Thank you letting us know. Customer Service will be in touch so that we can have the hardware sent out as quickly as possible.



by:

Installed easily, trailer traveled real tight behind vehicle. I was more than impressed. However, package was very beat up upon arrival.



by:

I'm pulling a 21 foot camper trailer with a 1/2 ton pickup and it does help reduce sway and rocking motions. The instructions could be better written and easier to understand. The box it was shipped in was destroyed and it was repackaged in ups boxes before I received it and no parts were missing.



by:

This product takes a lot of the sway out of the trailer for better towing . Would purchase it again .



by:

Great pricing, lightning fast shipping, and competent/courteous sales support. Very satisfied with both the weight distribution and 2-point sway control functionality. Many, many thanks!



by:

Worked better than I expected it to. Leveled camper and caravan nicely. Pulls level and smooth at low and high speed. One warning though be very careful with the spring arms. The first time I disconnected it the van was at an angle to the camper. The first side came off easy. I didn't expect (and should have) the other side to be different, but it was apparently under a lot of pre-load and when it snapped off the bracket it slammed to the side and broke my shin bone. My stupid so don't blame the hitch.



by:

Works great, makes a huge difference. Used on a 2014 Tacoma pulling a ~5k travel trailer. Without the weight distribution hitch, the truck was bobbing all over the place and it was exhausting to drive. Now the truck sits level and tows much more smoothly.

I took away one star because the method of installing/removing the bars is not as good as I've seen on other hitches. Unless you wear gloves, your hands will get all greasy and there are a bunch of loose parts that you have to keep track of. It works, but definitely not as slick as some of the (pricier) options out there.

So sorry to hear that! How frustrating! I am glad to see that our customer service team has already been in touch with you, and are working to get the parts sent out.

SEEMS TO BE GOOD QUALITY, AND THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE GREAT ,



by:

Instillation took a few hours and I had to buy a socket to change the ball to the 2 inch I needed. That aside, this unit works beautifully, no squat, no sway, and easy hook up.



by:

The packaging container was delivered damaged. The contents needs to be inspected and verified against the bill of materials

Customer Service will reach out to you. I have emailed the parts list to you.



by:

For the price, this has been a good hitch. The setup is pretty simple as long as you're a little mechanically inclined and have the tools for the job. Placement of the round bars and their removal each trip is simple. We have had zero issues with trailer sway and have no sag in the rear of tow vehicle. Very confident towing with this hitch. The only drawback is that the hitch will eat a significant portion of your vehicle's payload if you have a smaller tow vehicle. Just do the math and don't overload.



by:

The product seems good haven't used it yet but the packaging flat out sucks,box was destroyed and the ups guy asked if I wanted to just send it back.I hope all the parts are there.and I will have to paint it.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For A 5,000 Pound 2015 Evergreen Ascend Trailer
    If the unloaded tongue weight of your 2015 Evergreen Ascend trailer is around 300 pounds, I don't think the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE44FR is going to be the best option for you. This will have a minimum tongue weight rating of 600 pounds, which sounds like you would need to load the front of your trailer very heavy to get to. With that said, it sounds like the better option will be the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR. This will have a tongue weight range...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch System For a 2022 Keystone Hideout 175BH Travel Trailer
    I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 with your 2022 Keystone Hideout 175BH. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR will be quickly overloaded as it is only rated for 200-600lbs of tongue weight. With your Hideout weighing 485lbs dry the 20lbs of propane along with a 48lb Battery # BRW34FR will put you at 553lbs. Since the storage is also on the front you will want to go with a system like the e2 # FA92-00-0800 with a rating of 400-800lbs of tongue...

  • Can Reese Weight Distribution RE34FR Be Used with 2020 Toyota Highlander
    As long as the hitch on your 2020 Toyota Highlander was one that was rated for use with weight distribution like the Curt # C45CR you could use the Reese weight distribution system part # RE34FR but not all of the hitches that fit your vehicle are rated for WD systems so you'd need to verify that first.

  • Should 2017 Carado Axion Use Weight Distribution Towing 2022 Sun Lite 16BH
    Since your trailer would end up weighing less than half of your 2017 Carado Axion's total weight a WD system wouldn't be as strongly recommended but it wouldn't be a terrible idea. For a system that would be rated well for your camper the Reese Pro Round Bar kit part # RE34FR would be a great solution.

  • The Difference Between A Weight Distribution System and Weight Distribution System With Sway Control
    The Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank - Round Bar part # RE34FR does not utilize friction sway control. It is simply a weight distribution system that will redistribute the weight of your setup with the spring bars which will help to reduce sway but does not have active sway control at the bracket locations. A system like the Reese WDS RE34FR will help to eliminate rear sag of the tow vehicle and distribute the weight but it will not do much for sway. If you are experiencing sway...

  • How is Different Spring Bar Tension Accomplished with the Reese Weight Distribution RE34FR
    Using a different amount of washers in the head of the Reese weight distribution system part # RE34FR will allow you to adjust how much spring bar tension is used. The more washers are used the further down the bars will point and the more amount of force would be required to get them onto the mounts.

  • Will the 8K Reese Weight Distribution System RE34FR Work On a 4,500 Lb Trailer
    Yes, the Reese Weight Distribution System with Shank part # RE34FR will work on a 4,500 lb trailer. That said, hitch weights listed online are dry and you also need to add the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle. Therefore, you are likely underestimating the tongue weight so this system will be more ideal with this in mind.

  • Weight Distribution Hitch for 2005 Ford F-150 and Jayco Camper
    In order to choose the best weight distribution hitch, you will first need to know your total tongue weight. That weight is going to be the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go Jayco plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your Ford F-150. To determine this, you can use a scale such as the etrailer # e99044 or by using one of the methods outlined in the help article on determining tongue weight I've linked for you.

  • Reese Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2017 Rockwood Mini with 558 lb Tongue Weight
    For a round bar weight distribution system that would work really well with the tongue weight rating of the 2017 Rockwood Mini you mentioned the Reese part # RE34FR that you referenced and is a really solid choice. If that weight is the unloaded weight and it would end up being more than that when loaded the next size up is the part # RE94FR which has a range of 400-800 lbs.

    I would be happy to help! First the Curt MV Weight Distribution Hitch # C17050 you were looking at would be a bit stiff with the 440lb tongue weight you mentioned for your 16' Airstream, but is that figure what Airstream lists as the tongue weight, or what you measured? I would use a tongue weight scale to measure the tongue weight of both of your trailers when they are fully loaded if you have not already, as the tongue weight figures manufacturers provide are typically the unloaded...

  • Which Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch For 5,000 lb Airstream Travel Trailer
    I think you'll need to go up a level in weight rating for your 5,000 lb GVWR Airstream travel trailer. The reason being the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR is for loaded tongue weights between 200 lbs and 600 lbs. I assume the 520 lbs is the dry tongue weight, and generally tongue weight is 12-15 percent of a trailer's GVWR. If the 520 lbs is your loaded tongue weight the # RE34FR will work, but the option I know for sure will is the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 3500 lb Trailer Pulled by 2020 Toyota RAV4
    I'd be happy to help you with that. I'd recommend the Fastway e2 weight distribution with sway control, part # FA92-00-0600. This weight distribution hitch is designed for trailers with tongue weights ranging from 250-600 lbs, so it'll be perfect for a trailer weighing 2000-3500 lbs. The system will counteract the rear suspension sag by transferring a portion of the trailer's tongue weight to the front axle of your RAV4, so the front and rear ride height of the vehicle is even.

  • Adding Additional Sway Control To a Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution
    Yes, the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 can be used with the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR. You may need to move the brackets back on the weight distribution hitch to get the ball for the sway control at its 24" center hitch to sway ball. You will be able to do this since the weight distribution hangers are located 24-1/2" to 27-1/2" back from the hitch center. Do remember that you will need to remove the friction sway hitch before backing up or driving on...

It's a complete system that comes with everything you need including a pre-torqued hitch ball.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2003 Trail Light by R-Vision

The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Round Bar - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # RE34FR you were looking at would be a great option!

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.
