I liked the fact that the hitch ball was pre installed. Unfortunately when I received the box one of the spring bars was missing and there was no hardware in the box. etrailer offered to send the parts that were missing, but I wouldn't have had them in time so I had to buy another WD hitch locally. Didn't like the fact I had to pay for return shipping when the order was shipped incomplete.
by: Brandon08/10/2022
How do they ship a box full of really heavy objects in a single ply cardboard box? The contents aren't individually wrapped or protected in any way, so they bang against each other, scraping the powder coating off. It looks like they were put in a parts tumbler. There was a 10"x10" section of the box almost completely gone, just being held on by a piece of tape. There was small parts just rolling around loose in the box so of course, there's parts missing. so now I have to sit on hold to get it fixed.
I tried to add more pictures of the damage to the parts, but they failed to upload.

Package came completely destroyed, when opened all the parts had damage on them making them look very used. Ontop of it all i was missing a piece im assuming fell out of the giant holes in the packaging. customer service was able to help me out some but wasn't able to get the part shipped overnight to get it setup over the weekend like planned.
Comments
I can tell you know that this is not how we want our products to arrive. I will definitely have this reviewed by our shipping department.
-- Jenny N - 06/15/2022by: Eric07/13/2022
It was not packaged correctly during shipment and got really dinged up. I am considering returning it as a lot of the protective coating has been compromised.
Comments
I am sorry to see that you have received a damaged item. I have sent this information over to our customer service department for them to get in contact with you for them to assist.

Came missing parts due to very poor packaging. Missing instructions as well.

Thank you for reaching out as this is not how we expect the weight distribution system to arrive to you. I will have our customer service team reach out to you.

Box arrived all beat up and opened. Missing majority of bolts. Takes with customer service and they should be sending replacement parts. Hopefully they will be here before I go on my trip.
by: Steve 01/24/2022
So far so good. budget a couple of hours for assembly and getting adjusted just right. Also, you'll need a 1" thin walled socket - if your impact socket set doubles as your large size hand-ratchet sockets, you'll find yourself unable to tighten the top bolt on the trailer brackets - it happened to me.
by: William06/15/2022
Lousy packaging. Box was torn open. Parts missing
Comments
Oh no! I will definitely have our customer service team reach out to you. We will have this taken care of.
-- Jenny N - 06/20/2022by: Alan01/14/2022
I have not installed the hitch yet but I've checked and all parts are there and everything is in good shape. Unfortunately the shipping box was pretty beat up and re-taped. And UPS delivered it to the wrong address. A neighbor called several hours after delivery was "confirmed." I was able to retrieve it in one piece. In addition the first one I ordered UPS took back even before it was delivered because the shipping box was coming apart. It seems that Reese should do some work on their packaging. etrailer was very responsive to the first issue and shipped out a new hitch the next day!
by: Rusty04/15/2022
The box was destroyed and was missing a part. I called customer service and they said they would send a replacement part and an email once sent. I have received confirmation yet.

Product was great. Shipping was horrible. Too heavy for a cardboard box. Came broken open with parts laying on porch
by: Shawn 12/31/2021
Worked perfectly for my Travel Trailer. Instructions were good and the hitch works well and is easy to operate. Shipped and received in timely manner. etrailer website was easy to use and ensured I got the right equipment and video was helpful for installation. Recommend you use etrailer and Reese
by: John02/20/2020
provided shank would not work with my '15 4wd F150. Needed holes in the 90 degree angle of shank. I have not pulled trailer yet but this new WD hitch appears to be superior to my 10yo pro series trunion.
Comments
ok. etrailer sent me the correct shank. I had to hitch height one hole so I can tail gate with out striking handle area on hitch. Fords bulky handle area may be the cause. My old hitch was a little longer.

Great product. Great price. Great service! Thanks e-trailer! You are the best!
by: Gregory 09/15/2021
Short and sweet: the hitch does what it is supposed to. I have zero sagging between my truck and trailer. Sway is virtually non-existent.
The price was very reasonable and the install was super simple. I highly recommend this hitch and would definitely buy it again.

Great service, questions answered quickly and shipped on time

Great price. My local RV dealer couldn’t even come close to this price. Very happy and easy to install.
by: Scott05/05/2021
1st package was not delivered by ups due to being damaged in transit. I called etrailer and told them about the issue. I had a new product within 3 business days and double boxed to make sure it got to me safe. Highly recommend

The hitch works great, no problems at a ll.
by: Pat04/13/2021
I purchased my Reese WDS last year. It is awesome! so easy to hook up. Take the time and follow the directions when you first set it up the first time. From then on it is so easy to use and works like a charm! I would highly recommend this WDS. Keeps the front end of the truck level. Thanks for reading Pat CLE.

See what our Experts say about this Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
- Can Trailer Be Backed up with Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution System ConnectedWith most weight distribution systems (including this Reese kit part # RE94FR), you can back up with the spring bars connected as long as you are backing up mostly straight, but if you are going to angle the trailer and tow vehicle sharply you need to disconnect the bars otherwise you may damage them.
view full answer... - Backing Trailer While Using Reese RE94FR Round Bar Weight Distribution SystemIt's not a matter of placing stress on the bars. When backing the trailer, especially at a sharp angle it's pretty easy to jackknife the trailer, and when it happens it happens very quickly. If you're backing the trailer at a fairly straight angle, you'll be fine. However if you're in a situation where you're cutting a sharp angle to maneuver into a tight spot it's best to disconnect the bars so the system isn't damaged if the trailer jackknifes. I've linked to a product description...
view full answer... - Frame Bracket Height Max for Reese Weight Distribution SystemThe frame brackets of the Reese weight distribution system part # RE94FR can fit frame heights of up to 8 inches. There isn't a minimum listed since you could always use a metal spacer to take up extra room as needed if the frame height was shorter than the minimum bolt spacing on the brackets.
view full answer... - Distance From Hitch Ball to Brackets Needed for Reese Weight Distribution System RE94FRI added a cut out for you showing the distance needed from the hitch ball to the brackets for the Reese Weight Distribution System # RE94FR. As you can see, that distance needs to be between 24-1/2" and 27-1/2" for this system. It has an 8,000 lb towing and 800 lb tongue weight capacity and is a really good option for an economical way to ensure you have a level towing set up. I have added links below to video reviews for you to check out as well of both the Sway Control Kit # 83660 and...

- Could Unused Lower Section of Weight Distribution Shank be Cut offYes if you wanted to cut off the bottom of the shank of your Reese weight distribution system part # RE94FR that isn't getting used it would have no affect on the higher holes of the shank that are currently being used.
view full answer... - How Much Rise Does the Reese RE94FR Weight Distribution Have?To determine if you need rise, you will measure from the inside top of the receiver on your vehicle and then from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer. This should be done on as level a surface as possible. The difference will tell you how much rise, or drop, is needed. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Round Bar - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # RE94FR can have a maximum rise of up to 12 inches and should be able to cover you completely. The #...
view full answer... - What Does Reese Round Bar WD System WeighThe Reese Pro Round Bar WD system part # RE94FR that you referenced weighs right at 100 lbs, but you should note that the weight of a WD system does not count against the tongue weight of the hitch it is used on according to Reese and other WD manufacturers. The logic is that it becomes a part of the hitch basically so it does not affect it.
view full answer... - Does Reese 49912 Weight Distribution System Provide Sway ControlLong story short, the # RE94FR DOES provide sway control. The Reese 49912 Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution which we offer as part # RE94FR offers effective weight distribution for trailers with tongue weights ranging from 400-800 lbs and offers sway control that works great for resisting mild to moderate trailer sway.
view full answer... - Can Reese Weight Distribution System # RE94FR Do Drop of 3 inchesThe shank of the Reese weight distribution system part # RE94FR that you referenced is capable of a drop of up to 6-3/4 inches so it would easily be able to handle the drop of 3 inches that you need.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for Airstream RB16 Caravel CamperThe most value for a weight distribution system that would work great for the weight of your Airstream RB16 Caravel would be the Reese Pro Round Bar kit part # RE94FR. This has a tongue weight rating of 400-800 lbs and also comes with a hitch ball so you wouldn't need anything else.
view full answer... - How Easy Is It To Install the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution SystemIt's very easy to install the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution part # RE94FR, it just takes a bit of time to go through the initial setup but then it will be much easier each time after. The hitch ball is already torqued down so all you really need to do is figure out where the frame brackets will mount on the trailer frame and what hitch head height settings to use. I have attached a copy of the installation instructions below as well so you can see the full write-up.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for Palomino Solaire 185XThank you for providing that information. It sounds like you have a 2020 Palomino Solaire 185X based on the GVWR and dry tongue weight of 444 lbs. The dry weight of this trailer is 4,134 lbs. Based on that information you're looking at approximately 600-800 lbs of tongue weight when fully loaded. When choosing a WDH tongue weight is the most important factor. You want your tongue weight to fall somewhere in the middle of the range of the system. Since the tongue weight range of the Reese...
view full answer... - Bracket Positioning for Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway ControlThe Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE94FR is designed for the mounting brackets to be positioned 24-1/2" - 27-1/2" back from center of coupler. If you're able to position the brackets about 1/2" closer to the hitch ball that gets you within the range needed for this system. Attached is a review video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch For 2021 Starcraft Aluminum Ridge BH Travel TrailerDefinitely a smart idea to make sure you're ordering the right part, and we can get you set up with the right Reese weight distribution hitch, but the correct one depends on the specific model of your 2021 Starcraft Autumn Ridge. Based on my research, there are two models of BH, the 19BH with a 4,450 lb GVWR, and 26BH, with a 6,500 lb GVWR. So depending on which model you have, here is the correct Reese hitch: - 2021 Starcraft Autumn Ridge 26BH: Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution...
view full answer... - Which Reese Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for Jayco Jay Flight SLX 242BHS Travel TrailerIf the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your travel trailer is between 600 and 1150 lbs, the Reese 49913 system which we sell as part # RE44FR would be a good choice. I'll link to an article that explains a few different ways to determine your fully loaded trailer tongue weight. If you find that the tongue weight is below 800 lbs, the # RE94FR would be a better choice for you. As mentioned in the linked product descriptions, both systems provide both weight distribution...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution for Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKEThe Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE weighs in at 6,395 lbs fully loaded so for an appropriately sized weight distribution system, I recommend the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution part # RE94FR which is rated for up to 8,000 lbs. This system will give you some room for error without being so much that it causes a stiff ride which is indeed an issue for an oversized system.
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.
view full answer... - Sway Control For The RE94FR Weight Distribution KitThe Reese # RE94FR already has an integrated sway control function, so additional sway control measures aren't needed.
view full answer... - Does Reese Products Weight Distribution Hitch RE94FR Have Built In Sway Control?I would be happy to clear this up for you! The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE94FR you were looking at does have friction sway control built in to it so it does limit sway as it is. With that said its built in sway control is really limited to trailers with mild sway, so if your trailer has a decent amount of sway you would want to add some friction sway control # 83660 to help out. I recommend installing the system as is first and seeing how like it unless...
view full answer... - Recommended Inexpensive Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for 6,000-7,000 Lb TrailerThe Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System part # RE94FR is an excellent, cost effective option for a 6,000-7,000 lb trailer. It's rated up to 8,000 lbs so anything between this and 4,000 lbs will be perfect. It's a complete system with included hitch ball already pre-torqued. It also offers both weight distributing and sway control properties. Please note, for 2-1/2" trailer hitch applications you'll need a reducer like the Reese Titan Reducer Sleeve part # 58102.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System on a 5,000 lbs 2022 Forest River Salem FSX 178BHSKXIt looks like your 2022 Forest River Salem FSX 178BHSKX has a loaded weight of nearly 5,000 lbs. A weight distribution hitch is determined off of tongue weight which is somewhere around 10% - 15% of your trailer's total weight. With this in mind I recommend the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control item # RE94FR. This system has a tongue weight range of 400 lbs - 800 lbs which would be perfect for your set up. This system has built in sway control and is a cost effective option.
view full answer... - Recommended Maintenance For A Reese Weight Distribution SystemWhen it comes to maintenance on The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Round Bar - 8,000 pounds GTW, 800 pounds TW # RE94FR you will first need to keep sockets in head assembly free of dirt and well lubricated in rotating or moving part will need to be lubricated. Excessive wear in this area may indicate overload or inadequate lubrication. I recommend using The White Grease Hitch Ball Lube # 58117. This will help reduce friction and will not break down and is non-toxic. You...
view full answer... - Correct Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch for Trailer With 440 Pounds of Tongue WeightYou can back up while using the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution system. However, if you're making very sharp turns I would disconnect the bars to avoid potentially damaging them. The # RE94FR is overkill based on your tongue weight. Assuming that is your loaded tongue weight, you want to use the # RE34FR instead. Ideally you want to be in the middle of the tongue weight range. This WDH has a range of 200-600 lbs which would be perfect for you. Since you're basically right in the...
view full answer... - How do I Setup my Reese 49912 Weight Distribution System with Rear Air Bags on my 1996 Chevy TahoeBoth great questions! To the first yes you should re set your Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank part # RE94FR after installing the air bags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2101. As for the second question you should hook up the camper to the vehicle and level it with the air bags. Then hook up your weight distribution system. This will help to aid in your air bags and the weight distribution system working together really well and not over doing the effect.
