Arrives before Christmas 
Pair the built-in tongue weight scale on this hitch with the easy-to-use instructional app, and get the perfect towing setup. We love how Weigh Safe makes it easy to get totally balanced, but we love the smooth ride this hitch offers even more.

Note: Some Bulldog-style sleeve-lock couplers may not work with this system because of the limited space between the hitch ball and the lead screw in the system head. There is approximately 2-1/2" between the screw and the center of the hitch ball.
The most important thing you can do to ensure a safe, smooth ride when towing is making sure that your tongue weight is evenly distributed. If the balance is off, well, you've probably been there before, bouncing all over the road and getting pulled in every different direction. Simply put, when your load isn't properly distributed, your steering goes kaput.
Getting things just right can be a huge pain. First of all, depending on your trailer (and everything loaded into your truck), you may not even be able to adequately redistribute your weight on your own. You might just plain need a weight distribution system to help.
Standard weight distribution systems can be a bear. You need to manually tweak and adjust every little thing, and even then, there might be so much play in the setup that you'll still have issues with handling. The go-to for picking up that slack is typically adding sway control, but that can lead to other issues, like not being able to back up or tow in the rain.
The True Tow is designed to make solving these problems as simple as possible. No more fiddling around with hard-to-adjust parts. No more guesswork when setting things up. No more terrible sway on the highway. Just follow the setup process to get a perfectly balanced system and hit the road.
The setup steps are easy:
1. Hook your trailer up to the ball on the system head.
2. Take note of the weight on the built-in scale to make sure your tongue weight is in that sweet spot (10% to 15% of your GTW).
3. Pop into the companion app on your phone and answer a few questions, then wait for the app to give you an exact "distributed tongue weight."
4. Hook up the spring arms so the system is fully in place.
5. Adjust the lead screw on the hitch head until the scale shows the "distributed tongue weight" that the app had you shoot for.
Once you've completed all the steps, just make sure all your connections are secure and head out on your journey!

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch. Now, this weight distribution system's shank is going to slide into your two-inch trailer hitch receiver and this system is going to give you a smooth, even and safe ride while towing. This is going to make balancing your load very easy, so you're not gonna have to worry about poor handling. This is going to help correct sway from passing semis and harsh winds with built-in tension and friction points. Now, this does have a tongue weight of 1,250 pounds at a maximum towing weight of 12,500 pounds.
This shank is going to give you a maximum drop in this orientation of eight inches, and then when you flip this into the rise position, you'll get a maximum rise of about 8 1/2 inches, and you'll get incremental height adjustment of 1 1/4 inches. Now, as you probably know, the most important thing that you can do to ensure a safe, smooth ride while towing is making sure that your tongue weight is evenly distributed, but getting things just right can be very difficult. Depending on your trailer and everything that you have loaded in your truck, you may not be able to adequately redistribute your weight on your own, so that's where a weight distribution system is going to come into play and be very helpful for you. Setting this up is gonna be pretty easy. You're going to hook your trailer up to the included stainless steel 2 5/16 inch hitch ball that's on the head of the system, and then you want to then take note of the weight on the built-in scale that you see right here to make sure that your tongue weight is in that sweet spot of 10% to 15% of your gross towing weight.
Then, you're gonna use the Companion App on your phone and that's gonna be a free download for you depending on the smartphone app store that you have, it's gonna be a free download, and you'll just answer a few questions and then wait for that app to give you an exact distributed tongue weight. And then you'll hook up the spring arms here so the system is fully in place, and this does come with this tool here to help you lift the bars into place. And then also on the other side here, this is going to allow you to adjust that lead screw on the hitch head here until the scale shows the distributed tongue weight that the app had you shoot for. So, again, the setup's gonna be very easy. And then the sway control bracketing positioning is going to be 27 inches to 32 inches back from the center of the coupler, and this does have a maximum trailer frame height of six inches, however, if your trailer is taller than that, trailer frame is taller than that and you need brackets for eight-inch-tall frames, on the bottom of that graphic there, I am including the part number for those eight-inch-tall brackets that will work with this system.
The pinhole diameter is 5/8 of an inch. Again, this is going to slide into your two-inch hitch receiver. This also includes a hitch lock here, which I think is a pretty good inclusion here. So, this is going to help secure your shank into your vehicle. It does come with two tube keys.
This is gonna be very easy to use, and the system in general is constructed of high-strength steel, so this is gonna be very durable. It's gonna hold up really well for you. This is V5 and J684-certified for safety. And I do wanna make a final note, some bulldog-style sleeve lock couplers may not work with this system because of the limited space between the hitch ball and the lead screw and the system head. There's approximately 2 1/2 inches between the screw and the center of the hitch ball, so just so you're aware of that. Instructions are also included to guide you through the easy installation and operation. But I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
