Weight Distribution Hitch - Blue Ox

Hey there Layla! There are a few different forms of weight distribution hitches, but the majority of the systems that have sway control use friction bars, which work similar to brake pads on your vehicle. This works really well, but it can sometimes…

Hey Ron, congratulations on the new trailer! I have a Jay Feather myself and love it. You're definitely off to a great start with a weight distribution hitch, it will make a world of difference towing that trailer with your F-150. The Weigh Safe…

Hey Vernon, great to hear from you again! For your trailer that has a GVWR of 11,295 lbs I actually recommend stepping up one level and going with the 18.5K #WS49MR which has the same 6" drop and fits a 2-1/2" hitch receiver like the 12.5K…

...like the style of the Blue Ox that you were looking at. I prefer the brackets with the straight spring bars over the ones with the chains, I think they are way better for sway control. If you wanted...

Good morning Hurley (cool name by the way. I like the clothing brand Hurley). Also, congrats on the new-to-you Chevy! That is an excellent question that comes up from time to time on various vehicles and weight distribution systems. So on your 2023…
