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.
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.
The easy-to-use, block-style washer on the Reese system makes adjusting the tilt of the weight-distribution head a snap. This uniquely shaped washer can be rotated and positioned between blocks on the weight-distribution head for simple, secure positioning. And the numbered sides provide reference points should you need to adjust your system between different tow vehicles. 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 to obtain the desired tilt.
The round spring bars of this system slide up into the weight-distribution head and secure with pins 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).

Bought this product about a year ago to help when towing our 25' travel trailer. Use a 2016 Silverado 1500 for towing and it makes a world of difference in stability particularly in gusty windy conditions. Installation instructions were straightforward - only took a couple of hours to get everything dialed in. Would definitely recommend and purchase product again.
This was very easy to install and required only a few tools. The tutorial mage it super easy.
This equalizer is amazing!!! Made of very heavy steel it weighs about 150 pounds. I can't believe how heavy it is, no one builds with that much steel any more. I'm towing a 5,000 lb camp trailer with a 2020 Silverado 1500. Before this the rear end sagged about 4 inches and the truck handled poorly. With this hitch it is a straight line from front bumper of truck to rear bumper of trailer. The truck feels very solid and handles like a dream. Relatively easy to assemble and adjust using included instructions. Highly recommend this product!
Got this for towing my 21 ft travel trailer about a year ago. It was the cheapest WDH I could find at the time. It works perfect. Makes towing quite a pleasant experience.
Great hitch but it did not come with safety chains I called and talked with James but still haven't gotten any chains
This item worked great with my 2015 Traverse and new Camper. Back of Traverse has no sag at all. Keeps vehicle very level while pulling 4,500 pound Camper.
The people at etrailer are extremely helpful in figuring out what you need for your application I appreciate all the time they took on the phone to get me what I needed you do not get this kind of service everywhere I would recommend etrailer to anybody
Shopped awhile for one of these. Best bang for your buck. Easy to use, worked well, video installation that each trailer provided worked great.
2002 GMC Sonoma w/ 2014 178 R-Pod.. exc ellent.
It work great.
The product was just fine and half the price of a similar product elsewhere. But really impressed us was the quality and speed of the service... Rare in this day and age. Thanks
It great worked with it awhile and finally got it where I think it’s right
Review from a similar Round Reese WD in Weight Distribution Hitch
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.
Review from a similar Round Reese WD in Weight Distribution Hitch
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.

I ordered a Reese anti sway weight distribution hitch and the box was somewhat damaged during shipment. Some small parts had fallen out. I called etrailer and they were very professional and shipped the missing parts very promply. Refreshing to see excellent customer service in this day and time. I am sold on this company!!

Review from a similar Round Reese WD in Weight Distribution Hitch
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.
