Question:

What is the difference between a BXW0550 vs. a BXW0550-S ? Im planning to tow an Airstream Sport 16, TW 350lbs, max loaded trailer weight 3500lbs, with a 2011 Tacoma. Thank you!

Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 6,000 lbs GTW, 550 lbs TW # BXW0550 has a 7 hole shank where the BXW0550-S has a 9 hole shank. Other than that, the two systems are identical according to my contact at Blue Ox. We carry that shank # BXW4000 but not with a system.

If you need more drop for your Tacoma, we do have the 11 hole shank in the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW0556 which other than the shank is also the same system.

With whatever system you choose, you will need the hitch ball like # 63845 for a 2 inch diameter or #
