Finding the right balance is key to safe, smooth towing, and this hitch makes it simple. The built-in scale shows your trailer’s tongue weight so you can confirm it’s in the 10–15% sweet spot of your gross towing weight. If it’s off, just open the Weigh Safe app, input your measurements, and it’ll tell you the distributed tongue weight to aim for. Then you adjust the lead screw until the scale matches that number. No more guessing or trial and error—just a perfectly balanced setup ready for the road.
When the wind kicks up or big trucks blow by, you want your trailer to hold steady. The True Tow’s integrated sway control and trunnion spring bar system use tension and friction points to keep sway in check while maintaining smooth handling. It evens out the load across your axles and reduces steering strain so your trailer tracks straight without the white-knuckle moments.
Built from high-strength steel, this hitch is made for serious towing. It’s rated for a maximum gross towing weight of 12,500 lbs and a tongue weight of 1,250 lbs, and it uses a 2-5/16" stainless steel hitch ball that resists rust and corrosion. It’s certified to V5 and J684 safety standards, giving you the confidence that your setup can handle the job mile after mile.
The adjustable shank fits 2-1/2" receivers and gives you up to 6" of drop or 7" of rise with 1-1/4" incremental height adjustments. That makes leveling your trailer quick and precise. The included hitch lock secures the shank to your vehicle so you can park or stop along the way without worry. Once it’s set, the system stays tight and stable through every turn and bump.
Even weight distribution and built-in sway control help your trailer stay more settled behind you, which can make long highway drives feel less demanding. The system is designed for quiet operation, so you get the benefit of weight distribution without adding unnecessary noise along the way. When backing or maneuvering, keep the spring-arm limits in mind and disconnect them for sharp turns, steep driveways, or other situations that exceed the recommended angle.

Hey George, we definitely understand the frustration with the app compatibility and difficulty reaching support for assistance. The good news is the hitch does not rely on the app to function. The gauge and weight distribution system are mechanical, so you can still set it up correctly without the app. The method to set it up the traditional way: Measure the front wheel well height before hooking up Hook up the trailer Tighten the WDH until the front suspension returns close to unloaded height That restores proper front axle weight and gets the hitch adjusted correctly regardless of what the app says. Let me know if this helps.
Do you have a question about this Weight Distribution Hitch?

Hey Rebecca. I'm sorry to hear that happened on your trip. In my experience with weight distribution, if there is not enough weight on the tongue and too much weight in the rear of the trailer, it can cause fish tailing. If you're hauling a toy hauler it can sometimes get tricky moving things around so that you're not too rear heavy to use the weight distribution. I can look more into this for you, just would need to know your tongue weight and trailer specifications. Let me know when you can :)
