Weight Distributing Hitch

Create a stable ride for your tow vehicle and trailer with a weight-distribution hitch. Adding spring bars to your towing system applies leverage, which transfers the load that is pushing down on the rear of your vehicle to all the axles on both your tow vehicle and your trailer, resulting in an even distribution of weight throughout. The result is a smooth, level ride, as well as the ability to tow the maximum capacity of your hitch.



Selecting a Weight-Distribution System

The tongue weight rating is the most important factor in determining which size weight-distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride, which can result in a bouncing trailer. If, on the other hand, the bars are not rated high enough, the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight, rendering it virtually useless.


To determine the proper weight rating for a weight-distribution system, you must first determine your trailer's tongue weight. Then add to that the weight of the cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. These two measurements make up the tongue weight rating for a weight-distribution system.


Serrated Washer System

Unique Features of Reese Trunnion-Bar Weight Distribution

The easy-to-use, serrated washers on the Reese system make adjusting the tilt of the weight-distribution head a snap. This is a huge improvement over the standard pin-and-washer method, which involves piling washers - one on top of another - onto a difficult-to-access pin. The serrated-washer system lets you easily loosen, adjust and tighten a single washer and nut on either side of the head for simple, secure positioning.



The trunnion spring bars of this system slide into the weight-distribution head for quick, easy installation. With a tapered design and hot rolled steel construction, these bars offer superior flex, ensuring a smooth, controlled ride for both your tow vehicle and your trailer. In addition, these specially designed bars have rounded, hooked ends, making them the only kind of spring bars that can function with Reese's active-style, dual-cam sway control (sold separately).

Excellent product and excellent service! I pull a Arctic Fox 32A with a 2010 Chev Silverado 2500 HD with a Duramax. The tongue weight is 1430 pounds. I upgraded from a Husky 12,000 pound hitch to the Reese 17000 pound RP66006 weight distribution hitch, and the RP54977 Shank. There has been a remarkable improvement in the ride, much smoother, and no bouncing. And , it is level. I can't say enough about the great service from Katie D at etrailer

I am extremely happy with the Reese hitch I bought. And, I have to say, the after sales service from etrailer is outstanding. Not many businesses would follow up a year after the sale.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for a 2007 Ford F-150 and a 7,580 GVWR Trailer
    You were told correctly, you may not need a sway control system. Sway is dependent on a lot of factors including things like trailer length, load arrangement in trailer and road conditions. In any case, I will recommend a weight distribution system that is set up to easily add a sway control system if you decide you want it or it becomes a necessity. Your trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or GVWR of 7,580 pounds, meaning that the trailer when fully loaded cannot weight more than...

  • Recommendation For Weight Distribution on 2011 GMC 2500HD Towing 2008 Dutchman 27 Foot Trailer
    When choosing a weight distribution system you will want one that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the trailer tongue weight when loaded and ready to tow and that also includes the weight of any gear loaded behind the rear axle of your 2011 GMC 2500 HD. I am including a link to a FAQ page on weight distribution. With the gross trailer weight rating of your 2008 Dutchman Blackcomb trailer at 8,400 lbs, the tongue weight range of 15 to 20 per cent would be 840 lbs to 1260...

  • Can Reese Titan Weight Distribution be Installed on Two Trailers
    To install the Reese Titan Weight Distribution # RP66006 on a second trailer would basically just require you to install a second set of frame brackets on the trailer. The replacement brackets are sold individually as part # 58392. You would need two. Aside from that you would need to set the system up for each trailer with the correct amount of spring bar tension based on the tongue weight.

  • Will the Reese 17K Titan Weight Distribution System Work If Tongue Weight is Over 1,700 Lbs
    The Reese Titan Weight Distribution System part # RP66006 has a 1,700 lb tongue weight rating. If the total tongue weight which would be the loaded trailer and any cargo behind the rear axle on the tow vehicle is just slightly over this rating then there should not really be any issues. If this is however the unloaded tongue weight or not factoring in cargo then I would advise for a higher rated system. Please note, the above does not come with a shank or hitch ball. I recommend the Equalizer...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Towing 10k Camper Trailer
    The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. Your tongue weight is going to be...

  • Matching Shank With 2 Inch Receiver for Reese Titan Weight Distribution System
    The best shank for the Reese Titan Weight Distribution # RP66006 to fit in a 2" receiver is the Reese Weight Distribution Shank # RP54998 because it is the shank with the highest capacity at 16,000 lbs which is the closest you can get to matching the Titan's 17,000 lb capacity. I've added a link to a video review of this shank for you to check out.

  • Availability of Weight Distribution for 14,000 lb Trailer With 6 inches of Ball Mount Drop
    You'd want to go with a higher rated weight distribution system that does not have an included shank so that you can go with a different shank that has a higher amount of drop. For example the Reese Titan weight distribution system part # RP66006 has a tongue weight range of 1,000 to 1,700 lbs and with it you could use the Titan drop shank # RP54977 which can do up to 5-3/4 inches of drop.

This total tongue weight includes the loaded weight of the trailer tongue that you stated along with any cargo behind the rear axle of the towing vehicle. As long as your frame is not wider than 2-1/2 inches, I have a system that is compatible. I recommend the Reese Titan Weight Distribution w/out Shank - Trunnion Bar - 17,000 lbs GTW, 1,700 lbs TW # RP66006. This system does not have the integrated...

  • Choosing The Right Weight Distribution System
    A weight distribution system is needed when the trailer being towed weighs more than 50 percent of the towing vehicle's weight or the vehicle sags when the trailer is coupled to the vehicle. There are a few things to consider when choosing a system that will work best for you. First, your trailer hitch will need to be rated to be able to use a weight distribution system. You will need to know 2 things when considering a system. You will need to know your gross trailer weight(GTW). This...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System and Sway Bar for 3 Horse Trailer
    Thanks for all the information and attempt to show me a comparable trailer. I was able to find one online to assist with the visual. For your trailer I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 15K GTW, 1.5K TW # C17422. This is based on the fact you already have the pop up brackets and the weights you mentioned for your trailer. This system already comes with the pre-torqued 2-5/16 inch hitch ball and it comes with the friction sway...

    You can use a weight distribution system with your trailer with a pole tongue. You need an adapter part # RP58393. This adapter allows you to attach a weight distribution system. Using this pole tongue adapter does limit your towing capacity to 14,000-lbs and the tongue weight is limited to 1,400-lbs. The weight distribution system I recommend is the Reese Titan, part # RP66006. This is a trunnion bar system and is designed for 2-1/2 inch receiver openings. Since the shank and hitch...

  • Are There Weight Distribution Systems Rated Higher than 1,500 Pounds Tongue Weight
    We do have a couple of weight distribution systems that are rated up to 1,700 pounds tongue weight but they are for 2-1/2 inch receivers. If you have a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch then you could use system # RP66006 or # RP66075 with shank # RP54977. If you do not have a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch you may be able to install one. I would need to know the year, make, and model of the vehicle to determine if there is one available. Or, if you can lower the tongue weight of your trailer in any...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 37 foot Forest River XLR 29KW Toy Hauler
    1,500 lbs of tongue weight is pretty heavy but we do have weight distribution systems that are rated high enough for that. We have the Reese Titan part # RP66006 which has a tongue weight range of 1,000 to 1,700 lbs which would work well. Then for a hitch ball we have the part # BWHB94004 which has a 30k capacity. Then for a 2-1/2 inch hitch shank with a 17k capacity we have the part # RP54977 which would work well.

  • Is Weight Distribution and Sway Control Necessary on 2011 Keystone Towed by 2011 Silverado 2500
    Any time the trailer weighs more than half the weight of the vehicle, we recommend weight distribution. The OEM sway control is similar to a traction control system. The vehicle can sense trailer sway by the movement of the rear of the vehicle. Power is then sent to one wheel or the other in order to combat trailer sway. I do not have any personal experience to be able to say how well it works, and the comments I have heard about it are not definitive one way or the other. My best suggestion...

  • Weight Distribution System with 4 Inch of Drop to Tow 9,800 Pound Trailer Level
    There are weight distribution systems for 2 inch receivers that have enough drop to tow your trailer level. For example Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System # RP66560 allows for a maximum of 4 inches drop which is exactly what you would need. This system is rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds tongue weight. Based on a gross trailer weight of 9,800 pounds the trailer tongue weight will be in the neighborhood of 980 to 1,470 pounds. If your actual tongue weight is between 980 and 1,200...

    I looked up some specs on the Forest River Rockwood V 2715VS and found that it would have a tongue weight of around 1,100 lbs and it has a V-nose. Before I get into the best weight distribution system for your setup you should note that they all make some noise. I will try to point you towards one that isn't quite as noisy. So for the system itself you'll want the Titan by Reese part # RP66006 which has a tongue weight range of 1,000 lbs to 1,700 lbs. You'll need a matching shank that...

  • Can Reese Dual Cam Be Added To Reese Weight Distribution for Grand Design Reflection 315RLTS
    Yes, you can add the Reese Dual Cam High-Performance Sway Control for Steel Trailer Frames # RP26002 to your # RP66131 weight distribution hitch. When you added the 1,700 lb spring bars you basically turned it into the # RP66006. Adding the # RP26002 to either of these will turn them into the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control. Since you now have the 1,700 lb spring bars, this will be the same as having the # RP66075 once the dual cams are installed.
