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.

Ratings & Reviews
I just received the Weigh Safe Heavyweight distribution hitch. The one quite heavy as can be imagined package arrived in perfect condition. After unboxing the hitch, I’m impressed with the quality and workmanship. I can not report on the performance at this time, however the installation manual and user guide is quite clear to understand and follow. Also etrailer customer service is fantastic and I recommend purchasing anything through them as I’m a repeat customer.
Installed according to printed instructions and videos. Downloaded app and this thing will not keep my trailer from swaying. I was so hopeful but now regret I spent $1070 on this hitch and I can’t keep my trailer between the lines when there is any wind. I have only used the hitch once and now going to have to buy a different hitch.
The hardware and design look great. The issue is that it is dependent on a companion app. The app the manual says to download is incompatible with the current Android OS. The other available Weigh Safe app, won't take/use the "optional" weight distribution load ratings so that according to the app my F-150 with max tow package rated for 12000 lbs with 1220lb tongue wt rating when using a WDH. Weigh Safe customer support puts you on hold for 10 minutes and then punts you to voice mail. Hence the single star.
I should have bought this sooner. I had a recurve r6 it is not even comparable to Weigh Safe True tow. I have very little dolphin effect pulling a 11.400 lb bumper pull with a 2022 f350 dually.
Initial set up quite simple with the app. Took it for a short test run. Noticeable upgrade from my curt. Towing a 19 ft. Geo pro with 4runner.
Looks solid…best packaged heavyweight item I’ve ever received. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet but I expect it’s a solid product.
I really should buy all my stuff from etraile!!! Always fast, they customer service is always great. Thank you always etrailer
Love the feeling is getting when this product really easy to set up
Works great
Set up was a piece of cake. This hitch significantly reduced porpoising and sway.
Built like a tank,much better than my other hitch, it was used hitch that came with the camper that was welded together for their truck. I'm sure this one will do fine and had great reviews from wandering weekends on YouTube.
It pulls my RV better than any other weight distribution hitch I’ve owned.
The hitch is perfect for our camper. Installation was a breeze. I highly recommend weigh safe.
Customer service was amazing!!
Pretty easy setup, app is a little complicated but good. Was a big improvement from my last hitch
This is the best weight distribution hitch. The instructions are very detailed plus the downloadable app makes it easy to dial in the proper weight distribution across the trailer and truck. After installing mine, both the camper and tow vehicle were perfectly level. The installation is a very doable DIY project.
