Is Weight Distribution Tongue Weight Measured With or Without Weight Distribution Hitch Installed
Updated 09/21/2021 | Published 09/20/2021
Question:
Your weight distribution hitch chart lists everything by tongue weight. Is this the tongue weight before or after the weight distribution installation.
asked by: Jim P
Expert Reply:
The tongue weight used is going to be without weight distribution installation. Tongue weight of your trailer is something that can be measured using a variety of different methods. There is no effective way to try to measure what the tongue weight becomes while using a weight distribution hitch.
If you are looking for a weight distribution hitch I would be happy to make a recommendation if you let me know the tongue weight of your setup. I have attached a helpful article on how to determine trailer tongue weight for your reference. Keep in mind that this also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. I also attached some articles on weight distribution you may find helpful.
