Question:
Hi, quick question about Hitches. If the Dry hitch weight of the trailer is 795 lbs, would a Weight Distribution hitch rated for 1000 lbs tongue weight be sufficient. Thinking of Fastway E2, or equivalent, thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System is an excellent choice so if this is a system you are interested in I would not hesitant as it has exceptional sway control and it comes with a ten year warranty so you know it will last. That said, if you have a dry tongue weight of 795 lbs, I recommend the part # FA92-00-1200 which is rated for up to 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight or 1,200 lbs tongue weight. The part # FA92-00-1000 or part # FA94-00-1000 which is rated for up to 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight or 1,000 tongue weight would work but I recommend a bit more wiggle room as does Fastway. The upside is that you may not need to get a new system if you decide to upgrade your trailer down the line.
The 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer/Fastway Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ91-00-6100 will also be needed but that is all.

We have a 2019 VW Atlas. We also have a 2001 Toyota LandCruiser. We are considering a 25' Airstream. We may have to pull with the Atlas sometimes. The VW Atlas is rated for 5000lbs towing and 500 tongue weight. The Airstream dry is 5503 lbs with 837 tongue weight. Would a product like this Fast way E2 lighten the tongue weight or redistribute it enough that we could safely pull with the Atlas on short distances? We realize we are 503lbs over the tow rating but more concerned about the tongue weight.
