Sway is one of those things you don’t want to fight on the highway, especially when a big rig blows by. The Curt TruTrack uses built-in, active sway control that starts working before the sway even gets out of hand. Inside the hitch head, spring-loaded ball bearings rest in detents and apply constant pressure to keep your trailer centered. When sway starts, the bearings move through grooves to snap the trunnions back into place, keeping everything steady. On top of that, the rigid steel L-brackets and spring bars add steel-on-steel friction that resists side movement. It’s a hands-on system that keeps your trailer following right behind you, no add-on sway bar needed.
If you’ve ever watched your trailer push down the back of your rig, you know that sagging means sloppy handling. The TruTrack evenly spreads your tongue weight across all the axles—500 lbs to 800 lbs of tongue weight capacity and up to 8,000 lbs gross towing weight—so your setup stays level and stable. With the load balanced, steering stays responsive and braking feels normal again. It’s a noticeable difference the first time you tow with it—no more bouncing, no more nose-high ride.
Older weight distribution systems can be tedious to dial in since they require stacking washers and taking the head apart to get the angle right. The Curt TruTrack simplifies this with five preset head tilt positions built into the design. Start low and work your way up until the spring bars apply the right tension, then lock it in place. Once the head tilt is set, you’re good to go without repeat disassembly or guessing at washer stacks. This makes it easier to fine-tune for your trailer and get the ride level in less time.
This hitch is built from forged steel and finished with a black powder coat that fights corrosion, so it holds up through years of towing. The spring bars and brackets are heavy and solid, giving you confidence that the setup will stay true under load. It’s also designed for easy upkeep—grease zerks are built into the head so you can keep everything lubricated with a couple of pumps before a trip. Keeping those bearings greased helps the mechanism stay smooth and responsive.
The TruTrack comes complete with the head assembly, adjustable shank, spring bars, active sway control brackets, lift bar, and all necessary hardware for install. It fits 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers rated for use with weight distribution and mounts to trailer frames up to 6" high and 4" wide. You’ll just need to add a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" shank to finish it off. Once set up, you can even back up without disconnecting—perfect for tight campgrounds or driveways.

It does the job well! Our tow vehicle could handle (Ram 2500) our travel trailer (26' 6k) decent without but it makes our trips less stressful when it comes weather and traffic.
Very strong system. Best to put on when trailer is lined up and level to tow vehicle. Does make some noise when turning, but does it's job as anti sway and weight distributing.
Just installed my curt weight distribution system on my truck. My truck use to slump terrible, where actually my chains would drag the ground and with my curt weight distribution system it is now perfectly level. I’m pulling 4600 pounds with my tractor and 20 ft trailer. Could not be more happy with the system and etrailer gets a big thumbs up for their help in getting me the right system and for their excellent customer service.
Best unit for its purpose ! Grease daily with some Lucas White Lithium grease and you are good to go. Amazing how the sway control works. Well built. Better grab it with both hands due to its weight!
Well worth it. The truck sits way more level and handles as if there wasn't even a trailer attached. This is my first weight distribution hitch so it took a while for me to set up but it wasn't too difficult.
Put theses on because I have a bumper mounted hitch to haul a cargo carrier. I think they definitely will help out in the long run
Hitch was as expected. Sometime gets a little noisy from friction. One of the holding clips that holds the sway bar to the hitch broke and I’m concerned about losing it. Need to find another one
etrailer customer support is excellent! I talked to Nick a couple of times before ordering a weight distribution hitch for my travel trailer. I received the hitch two days after ordering but unfortunately there was some shipping damage so I refused the shipment. The next day etrailer processed another shipment and two days later I received the hitch which was in excellent condition. I would highly recommend them because of their excellent service and support.
Just installed a week ago. Went on easy but instructions could be better. Etrailer videos made install a snap and only took 40 minutes. Make sure your hitch ball has a 1 1/4 “ shank as anything smaller will need an adapter. Makes my 33’ trailer sit and ride like a dream.
Product is as advertised. The trailer feels more stable when towing, both sway and bounce. I bought it for bounce, because I have a 1500 and tow a KZ 18’ travel trailer and I cart about 1800 pounds of tools in the back of the truck.
The set up was simple. If you are not very handy it might take a little time, and get it with the ball already installed. I had to weld mine on, because Harbor Freights ball was 1” shank, and I needed it for the next day.
Thank you.

Moved on to a motorhome, but this hitch did the trick with my bumper pull when I had it. Major winds and a lot of miles in the plains and rocky mountains and it handles like a champ. Made all the difference. Highly recommend.
Seems like a quality product, but do have a few issues.
1. The ball detent angle should be adjustable such that the bars center in alignment with the trailer frame. Each change results in about a 15 degree total angle change, so what happens is the left and right bar forces are working against each other with both balls out of detent while driving straight. The system needs finer adjustment so the balls can be in detent while driving straight.
2. Would be nice to have more than one bar choice, especially for a car hauler. Being able to swap out bars would allow setup running heavy and light without doing a head adjustment. With solid mounted bar hangars, it would be nice to be able to add some more spring tension without breaking out an impact. Due to this issue, I would say this sway control system is more suited to a trailer running a constant weight (travel trailer) rather than a trailer with a wider weight range (car hauler). Option B would be to give a second, lower tension shelf for the bar to be put on while running lighter. I may end up modifying my bar mounts to do this.
This is my first install and use of a weight distribution/sway control hitch and it was a straight forward and easy process to do the install. It's been great to use and the ride near on my Tacoma is very smooth with a trailer close to my trucks published tow limits.
Fantastic. Had a Reese trunion bar system for many years with a friction sway control. Worked OK but was missing something; Had bouncing with some sway. Just felt sloppy going down the road. Trailer is 5500 lbs with 650 lbs of tongue weight. Set this up per instructions. measuring front and back of tow vehicle and couple height. Hooked everything up and it is like a dream towing now. So glad I mad the investment in this system. Tow so nicely with no bounding and no sway. One system does everything and very well. Takes some time to set up with measurement and all but not bad. Al in all a great system and would recommend it!
Well I wish I had purchased the next size down. We pull a 4,000 lb trailer with 400 lb+ tongue weight. my thinking was, after we got the trailer loaded with all of our camping junk we would need this heavier hitch. This thing is a beast. it's very heavy. that said, it has plenty of adjustment to get your rig level, it also seems to take any sway out of the trailer. So, just give it some real thought before you add more weight to the back of your tow vehicle than you need.
I've been using this hitch for a year now and I don't think I will ever use a different one. Upgraded from a chain type hitch to this one and immediately noticed a difference. No more white knuckles. I feel comfortable driving everywhere with one hand on the steering wheel. My hitch is the 8k and my TT gross is 77k. The only drawback that I've seen is that you have to watch hitting the trailer during very sharp turns. I will be purchasing the trutrack again after upgrading my travel trailer.
easy to use but seems to me there too much wear on all contact points, even after greasing
Good sway control and distribution combined. Brackets that attach to tongue are terrible. They can't be tightened enough not to move. I modified mine to bolt to the tongue and it works fine. Hitch head is a bit heavy.
Fantastic hitch with sway. 26' camper at 6000 lbs and NO issues. Install was straight forward, adjustable, and a very noticeable diff in winds. This Curt hitch is exactly what I wanted.
Curt Weight distribution and anti sway hitch arrived a day before scheduled delivery. It was doubled boxed, and there were no missing parts. Good job etrailer. Some reviews reported missing parts because of the heavy weight breaking the box.
Great customer service! Thank you
Installed it this past Saturday morning, for a new, larger/longer trailer that swayed a bit with my older chain-link equalizer system. Like doing anything the first time, it took awhile longer, figuring things out and having tools laid out. It would go much faster next time! Good instructions, got the set-up pretty good the first go-round (height and weight distribution and vehicle/trailer proper levels), did have to adjust it two more times to get it perfect. I do mean perfect. Got to the point adjusting height and loading on the equalizing/sway bars only took 15 minutes start to finish! Fine product, out on the road it worked great. The sway I had with the old chain-link equalizers was all but gone. Glad I spent the money for better safety!

Has worked as expected, performed well. I pull a 31 travel trailer with a 2018 Dodge Durango The match-up of pull vehicle to travel trailer is on the edge of acceptable and this set-up keeps it where it belongs, and on the very rare occasion, pulls it back where it belongs. 1000s of miles with no issues. I WISH they made a product that maintained friction and reduce some of the noise when turning sharp.

This TRU Track is great no more sagging, No more trailer swaying and the trailer response and control is outstanding.
The Curt TruTrack is an excellent system. Easy to install, quite and makes my single axle camper follow with absolutely no sway or porpoising. After looking at different brands I decided on the Curt because of price and the four point sway prevention.
I had questions on whether it would work with my underslung camper coupler. Mike was great help in determining that it would.
Price wasn't terrible, assembly and installation was pretty simple,instruction were great. I have a 2019 ram 1500 with a 2 inch lift. Camper is a 27ft dry weight is 5900 lbs with a 600lb tongue weight. Pulls like a dream. I can cruise at 74mph with little to no sway. When hit with a gust of wind, the weight distribution/sway bars correct the sway very quickly. Very happy with the setup. Called customer service to track the package delivery as I recieved the hitch ball the day before the hitch setup arrived. She was extremely friendly and was able to track my other package very quickly and give me an eta. Great experience all around
