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 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver. And this system is going to give you a smooth, even, and safe ride while towing. Now, this is going to make balancing your load super easy so you don't have to worry about poor handling.
This is going to help correct sway from passing semis and harsh winds with the built-in tension points and friction points. Now, the tongue weight is going to be 1,250 pounds and the maximum towing weight is gonna be 12,500 pounds. And this shank is going to give you a maximum drop of about 10 inches in this orientation. And then when you flip this over to the rise position, you're gonna get a maximum rise of about 11 inches. And this has an incremental height adjustment of 1-1/4 inches.
So as you probably know, the most important thing you can do to ensure a safe, smooth ride while towing is making sure that your tongue weight is evenly distributed. But by getting that evenly distributed, it can be kind of difficult depending on your trailer and depending on everything that you have loaded in your truck, you may not be able to adequately redistribute your weight on your own. That's where a system like this, a weight distribution system comes into play. Setting this up is going to be pretty easy. You're going to hook your trailer up to this included stainless steel 2-5/16 inch hitch ball here on the system head.
And then you're going to take note of the weight on the built-in scale to make sure that your tongue weight is in that sweet spot of 10% to 15% of your gross towing weight. And then you're going to use the companion app that Weigh Safe provides that you can download free on your smartphone's app store. You'll download that app and answer a few questions on it. And then the app will give you an exact distributed tongue weight. Then you're gonna hook up the spring arms so that the system is fully in place.
And this does come with this tool to allow you to lift up the arms or these bars into place. And then the other side here is going to allow you to adjust the lead screw here on the head to get in to get that measurement that you're looking for, that distributed tongue weight number that the app gave you. So as you can see, it's gonna be very easy to set this up and to dial in exactly what you need. And the sway control bracket positioning back from center of the coupler is going to be from 27 inches to 32 inches. And the maximum trailer frame height is six inches. Now, if you have trailer frames that are taller than six inches, such as eight inches, on your screen, I am including our part number for those eight inch tall brackets for the eight inch tall frames. And the pinhole diameter is 5/8 of an inch. And again, this is a 2-1/2 inch shank. And hitch lock is included with this system as well. So this is designed to obviously secure this to the back of your vehicle. And this system is constructed of high strength steel, so this is gonna be very durable. It's gonna hold up very well for you. I mentioned that the ball is stainless steel. This is V5 and J684 certified for safety. And a final note is 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's approximately 2-1/2 inches between the screw and the center of the hitch ball, just so you're aware of that. A great set of instructions are 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.
