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!

We purchased it for a trip to Florida. Stopped right now at camping world to get a different sway bar. The weigh safe one was causing the trailer to sway all over the place. We followed the app, we reached out to weigh safe and did what they suggested. It has been a horrible trip driving with this sway bar. We even took the bars off after weigh safe said to try driving it without. We need to return the product. E trailer has been amazing, just this sway bar doesn’t like our truck and trailer.
Everything went well except you sent the version with the 2 1/2 inch shank. I ordered the 2 inch shank because I have a 2 inch receiver.
You can send me the correct shank separately at my home address.
