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!

Hello, neighbors and friends. Steven here with etrailer.com. Thanks for joining me while we take a look at our Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch. It's got a 2 1/2-inch shank on it with a 10-inch drop or 11-inch rise, and it's rated at 18,500 pounds maximum gross towing. So folks, with weight distribution, you're gonna get a smooth, even, and safe ride while you're towing. And this kit in particular with the scale by Weigh Safe makes balancing your load super easy.
You don't have to worry about poor handling. It's gonna correct sway when you're passing semis or when they pass you, harsh cross winds, those kind of things with its built-in tension and the friction points at the bars. Now, you're gonna be able to check the built-in scale to gauge your trailer's tongue weight. Now, if it's outside of that sweet spot, which should be 10 to 15% of your gross towing weight, you just simply adjust your load, and then you can also use the downloadable app. There are instructions and a QR code here on the product itself, as well as on their website and in their instruction manual that's included.
Now, your input, your set up weight and measurements in that app, and you're gonna give the distributed weight aim that you want to aim for. Now, what you'll do is you'll adjust this screw here with the included lift tool. It has a wrench end on it. And all you simply do, we'll move this in or out or up or down, whichever you wanna word it. And that's gonna adjust the pitch of the head and that's gonna give you the pitch you need.
And too, that scale, gives you the correct weight. So it's gonna give you peace of mind for your journey. You're also going to get an included hitch lock. It's got a rubber cover on it for keeping out debris and dirt and everything. You get a pair of keys.
They are a tubular style key, so they're round. Much more harder to pick than your regular flat keys that are out there. Now, this whole thing is made of a high-strength steel. It can support those heavy loads. And the ball is a stainless steel hitch ball, a 2 5/16 inch to be exact, and that's gonna make it rustproof and also built to last. You don't have to worry about corrosion, any of that. Now this whole system is V5 and J684 certified for your safety. Now, like I said, the max towing weight is 18,500 pounds for this particular unit. You get everything you see here. You got spring bars, you've got brackets, you've got the L-pins to hold the spring bars in place. And once again, you've got the lift tool. So I don't know if you've ever used these before, but if you haven't, we've got lots of information on our website here at etrailer.com that explains how to set 'em up, those kind of things. With this particular unit, you have a sway control bracket positioning. You need to have between 27 and 32 inches from the center of your coupler. So right here on top of the ball, down the side of your frame at that angle following that frame, you need to be between 27 and 32 inches. That's what this is designed for. Now, let's say you get that measurement on your particular setup, you have something in the way, you may potentially have to move a bracket or something like that a couple inches. But again, check the owner's manual as far as that goes. Now, the maximum trailer height that this is rated for is gonna be six inches tall. Now, that being said, if you need an additional height here, we do offer up to eight inch ones. Those are sold separately. And again, this whole system here has a max drop of 10 inches, or you can flip it over and you'll get a max rise of 11 inches. The spacing between the holes for the head unit here are 1 1/4 inches on center, and the pinhole diameter is 5/8 of an inch on the hitch pin. So folks, again, a lot of information here. This again is the Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution for a 2 1/2-inch shank with a 10-inch drop or 11-inch rise rated at 18,500 pounds. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching. And as always, stay safe while you're towing, please.
