We do have a great option for a weight distribution system with sway control that will work for your Forest River Vengeance Rogue toy hauler with a 10,000 lb GVWR and dry tongue weight of just over 1,000 lbs, but the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-1200 is not quite heavy-duty enough.

Reason being, the correctly rated weight distribution system is one in which your total tongue weight (the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your truck) falls somewhere in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity. Loaded tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's GVWR, and when taking into account cargo, the 800 lbs to 1,200 lbs capacity of this Fastway system isn't quite enough.

That is the highest-rated Fastway, so we'll need to go in another direction for the brand, and I recommend the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # C17501.

This system has a total tongue weight capacity of 1,000 lbs - 1,500 lbs so yours will fall right in the middle of that. It is a great value because it is a high-quality system at a lower price point than similar ones, and it even comes with everything you need for installation.

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # C17501.
