Getting your setup balanced right can make all the difference between a smooth ride and a stressful one. The Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch includes a built-in scale that shows your trailer’s tongue weight directly on the hitch. If it’s outside that 10–15% sweet spot of your gross towing weight, just shift your load or adjust using the integrated lead screw. The companion app makes things even easier—enter your weights and measurements, and it calculates the exact distributed tongue weight you should aim for. With the 2" shank and 6" drop, you’ll be able to set your system accurately and confidently every time.
Crosswinds and passing semis can push a trailer around, but this hitch keeps you planted. The True Tow uses built-in tension and friction points to correct sway before it becomes a problem. With 4-area sway control, you’ll feel steadier at highway speeds and in gusty conditions. The trunnion spring bar design helps maintain consistent pressure and keeps your trailer tracking straight behind you, even through long hauls or uneven pavement.
Old-style weight distribution systems can take a lot of trial and error to get right. The True Tow makes setup simple with a process guided by its app and on-hitch scale. Just hitch up, run through the few setup steps, and adjust the lead screw until the scale shows your distributed target weight. No guesswork, no complicated tools, just a clear process that gets you balanced and ready to roll faster.
Rated for a maximum gross towing weight of 12,500 lbs and up to 1,250 lbs of tongue weight, this system is engineered for serious towing. It’s built from high-strength steel and includes a stainless steel 2-5/16" hitch ball that resists rust and corrosion. The included hitch lock secures the shank when parked, giving you peace of mind whether you’re overnighting at a campground or stopping for lunch on the road.
The top-mount brackets fit trailer frames up to 6" tall, or up to 8" tall with the optional bracket kit (sold separately), giving you more flexibility when matching the system to your trailer. The top-mount configuration also keeps the hardware easy to reach during setup and adjustment. Once everything is dialed in, the system provides weight distribution and sway control as you tow. When backing or making sharper turns, follow Weigh Safe's spring-arm limits and disconnect the arms when the maneuver requires it.

Your set up looks great, Justin! I'm happy to hear that Tiffani was there to help you out with everything that you needed. Have you taken your camper to any fun destinations yet with the Weigh Safe system on it now?

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.
