Question:

I would like to load a 850 lb polaris RZR in the bed of a 2014 ford F-150 with the tailgate down and tow a 4000 lb camp trailer with a weight distribution hitch on the end of a 24inch extension. Is this possible with this hitch.

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Torklift hitch part # TLF1005H will allow you to use a hitch extender and use a weight distribution system with the extender as well.

For a 24 inch extension you would want the # TLE1524 for use with the hitch.

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.

Once you know your tongue weight you will want to check out the link I attached that has all of the weight distribution systems we carry. You will be able to select your tongue weight from the filters to see what would be rated for your setup.
