Question:

Need help deciding which Blu Ox Sway Pro to get. Have a 2007 4Runner V6 and will swap out the stock hitch with the Draw-Tite 75115. Will be towing a Livin Lite VRV Toy Hauler GVWR 5500#, Hitch Wt 550#, unloaded 3100#. Thanks

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.

If your tongue weight is 550 lbs loaded the Blue Ox Sway Pro part # BXW0751 would be the kit to use as it has a tongue weight range of 500 - 750 lbs.

The Draw Tite hitch part # 75155 is rated for weight distribution so it would be a great choice in that regard as well.
