Weight Distributing Hitch

Create a stable ride for your tow vehicle and your camper or 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 Strait-Line Weight Distribution

The easy-to-use, serrated washers on the Reese Strait-Line 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 the Strait-Line 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. 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.


Weight Distributing Hitch

Dual-Cam Sway Control

Reese's dual-cam sway-control system stops trailer sway before it begins. This is a significant improvement over traditional friction-style controls, which help to correct sway only after it has already begun. This specially designed system uses unique sliding devices called "cams" to suspend the spring bars of your weight-distribution system. One end of a cam bolts onto your trailer's frame, and the other end attaches to the lift bracket via the lift chain. The rounded, hooked ends of the spring bars then sit in these cams. The controlled placement of the spring bars keeps your system secure while still allowing enough movement for free, easy interaction between your trailer and your tow vehicle.



Dual-Cam Sway Control Turning

During basic, straight-line towing, the cams lock in place and hold the trailer steady by applying constant, consistent pressure to both sides. This keeps the trailer from swaying in crosswinds. When you go into a turn, the cams unlock and slide to allow a controlled, full-radius maneuver. If you swerve suddenly, the cams will give to accommodate the movement while still working to obtain a straight angle, thereby maintaining control of the trailer.

What a great company to work with. I had some trouble determining which hitch I needed. One phone call and they explained everything I needed to know. I have already made more purchases from etrailer.

Thanks guys,

Received my order in record time. Everything was well packaged and arrived in good condition. The assistance and recommendations I received were very helpful.

I have ordered numerous items previously from etrailer and have always been well satisfied with the products and the price. The etrailer folks are my choices for trailering parts and supplies.



by:

Excellent customer service, great product. I can't imagine driving down the road without it.



by:

I've had this product installed for about a year. I race motorcycles and installed this on a 35' toy hauler that use at least once a month. Hooking it up to the truck is simple with the sway bars, and it helped to greatly reduce the sway travelling down the road. Toying something that large without a system like this is a safety issue, and I feel much better toying now with it on.



by:

I really like this hitch. NO trailer sway at all. Easy hook-up. I appreciate E-Trailer for their help in selecting the best hitch for my Rv trailer. Thanks!



by:

We just returned from our first trip from Oregon to Montana. It was extremely windy and gusty both ways. This hitch is amazing. the wind and passing trucks never once caused the trailer to sway. It sometimes caused the trailer and SUV to move sideways slightly but always as a unit and always kept the trailer in a straight line with the SUV. It is easy to hook up. I recommend it.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 1,175 lb Dry Tongue Weight Trailer
    With your tongue weight at 1,175 lbs when loaded, you also need to account for any cargo weight behind the rear axle as well to get the total tongue weight rating. I've attached an article to assist. You are correct that your current system is underrated for your application. My recommendation is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37140ET rated for total tongue weights between 1,000 and 1,400 lbs. You want your total tongue weight to fall in the...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System and Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Tug Boat Trailer
    I did some research and your F-150 with the combination you have is the 11,600 lbs if you have the max towing package. If you do not it drops to 10,600 lbs. The upgrades you have done to your truck are really nice so I can see why you don't want to change vehicles. What I recommend is keeping your current hitch, upgrading your weight distribution system to the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 14K GTW, 1.4K TW # RP66561 because it will work well...

    Because trucks can be equipped in a multitude of ways, it's not always easy to pin down the actual towing capacity. However, there is one sure-fire way to find the max towing capacity of your vehicle. Look for the vehicle ID sticker in the door jamb for the driver's door. Look for the GCWR, which is the gross combined weight rating. This weight represents the maximum combined weight of the truck and trailer. From that figure, subtract the GVW, the gross vehicle weight. The GVW represents...

This weight distribution hitch will require a separate 2-1/2 inch shank like the Reese Titan Weight Dist Shank # RP54976 or # RP54977 for a deeper drop.

  • What is the Difference Between a Rear Air Bag System and a Weight Distribution System
    Basically, a weight distribution system moves some of the load up the vehicle frame so that the front suspensions bears some of the weight. Weight distribution spreads some of the weight from the rear axle to the front. An air bag system spreads the weight across the rear axle. Instead of having 2 springs bearing the load, you now have 4. When towing large trailers, air bags should not be used instead of a weight distribution system.

  • Should Weight Distribution Hitch Be Used With 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Towing Forest River Vibe 28RB
    According to the 2019 Ram 1500 towing chart, a weight distribution hitch is recommended for trailers over 5,000 lbs. Based on that information, I would say you should use a WDH and not just a regular ball mount. I'm not entirely sure which trailer you have without the year, and I was unable to find the 28RK so I will use the 28RL. The 28RL has a an unloaded weight of 7,096 lbs with a dry tongue weight of 821 lbs. The GVWR is 9,621 lbs so you're looking at roughly 1,100 lbs of tongue weight....

  • Weight Distribution System Needed for a Trailer with a Tongue Weight of 2,300 lbs.
    If the loaded tongue weight (TW) of your trailer is around 2,300 lbs then any weight distribution (WD) system that is rated for a max of 1,200 lbs TW will not be strong enough to help out at all. Check your TW to ensure that it is 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer. If it isn't you need to move stuff around until you achieve the 10-15% area. If it is already 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer then the only WD system that we have that will help is the TorkLift SuperHitch...

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Controller Recommendation for a 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali
    Based on the excellent information you have given me, I estimate about 8,500 to 9,000 pounds total. What I want to focus on is all of the weight that will be behind the rear axle of the 2005 GMC Yukon Denali. So we can subtract 230 pounds for you, a 120 pound wife, 260 pounds of kids and dogs. The gear, water, gas I assume will be in the cargo area of the Yukon or on the trailer so that is still factored in. That puts the total behind the rear axle at about 8,000 pounds. Trailer tongue...

  • Effects Of Tilting Trailer Ball Mount On Weight Distribution System
    When you tilt the ball of a weight distribution system rearward on your hitch (toward the trailer) you are changing the physics of the system and therefore also the tension on the rear of the trunnion spring bars. Tilting the head rearward will take more of the weight off the rear axle of the towing vehicle by shifting it to the front axle.

    The Reese Strait-Line system should be chosen according to your loaded tongue weight. Ideally you want your actual tongue weight to fall in the middle of the tongue weight range of the weight distribution hitch. Since your dry tongue weight is 1,180 lbs the # RP66084 isn't rated high enough. You will be over the 1,200 lb max once you add propane and batteries. Based on your GVWR and dry weight you more than likely will be able to use the # RP66130. This has a tongue weight range of 1,000-1,500...

  • Comparing the Fastway e2 to the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch
    The biggest issue with a weight distribution hitch like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-1200, which is likely what you've got on your trailer, is that the hitch head doesn't provide any friction or tension. Having a weight distribution hitch that provides 2 point sway control is going to really only be effective in reducing sway once it's started, which is why you're experiencing the sway even with it attached. Using a system like the Reese Strait-Line # RP66084, which uses dual cams to provide...

    For your setup you will definitely need a hitch with a higher capacity. The Curt Hitch # C15410 that you referenced would certainly have enough tongue weight capacity. However, you will still need to determine what the capacity of your vehicle is.

When determining overall towing capacity you always need to go by the lowest rated component as the overall capacity. If...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Towing a Grand Design Momentum 28G Toy Hauler
    Nice towing rig! When choosing a weight distribution (WD) system you really want to choose one that has a tongue weight that your total tongue weight (TTW) falls in the middle of. You can find your TTW by adding the loaded weight of your trailer with any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500.
