We can absolutely get your your 2020 Grand Design Transcend Xplor 265BH set up with a weight distribution hitch, and you can use the standard 2" hitch already on your truck. The best weight distribution hitch for your trailer is going to be an option from Blue Ox:

- Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution with Sway Control # BXW1000

The SwayPro # BXW1000 is rated for tongue weights between 750 lbs and 1,000 lbs, so it is perfect for what the tongue weight will be on your '20 Grand Design 265BH. Aside from being rated correctly, the SwayPro offers more benefits than any other hitch, including being much quieter than other systems. The reason for that is because it uses brackets connected to lift chains so you won't hear the loud, grating noise that comes with systems that use friction-style brackets.

This hitch also has four points of sway control - at the hitch head and brackets - which offers the best prevention you can get against trailer sway, helping ensure you have the most controlled, comfortable, and safe towing experience.

The SwayPro # BXW1000 - which comes with everything you need for installation - is much easier to set up and use than other systems with its clamp-on brackets and lift chains that you tighten with the included wrench; other systems are far more time-consuming set ups that require measuring and re-measuring to get the right tension.

The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17499 is for total tongue weights between 500 lbs - 800 lbs so it doesn't have the right capacity for your Grand Design, so if you wanted to go with the TruTrack the better option is the next system up: - Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # C17500 The TruTrack # C17500 is a really nice system and a solid choice, though there are a couple differences that make me recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution with Sway Control # BXW1000. The TruTrack uses brackets that go around the frame, which are going to be more time-consuming and not quite as easy overall to set up as the SwayPro. The TruTrack's sway control is also friction-style so it is going to be noisy, while the SwayPro won't have that. Also, there is the warranty; the TruTrack has a 10-year warranty, but the SwayPro comes with a lifetime warranty.
