Question:

I am towing a Haulmark Transport single axle cargo trailer with a Jeep Wrangler 4 door. Trailer max gross weight is 3000 lbs. Normal weight loaded with my Harley trike is 2300 lbs. Tongue weight is 340 lb. typical, 450 maximum. Can you suggest a weight distributing hitch for my setup?

Expert Reply:

I recommend using a Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET for hauling your Haulmark trailer with your Jeep Wrangler. The Equal-i-zer is rated for trailers with a tongue weight range of 200-600lbs. It can be used with a trailer that weighs up to 6,000lbs so you will be able to use it with other trailers if you decide to get something bigger. This will also give you a sway control system that will help keep your Haulmark trailer tracking straight when on the highway. It resists strong winds and push created by large trucks when you are on the highway. Unlike other weight distribution systems this one does not need to be removed before maneuvering your trailer in a tight parking area. This system comes with a lifetime warranty and is Made in the USA.

You will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the included 2" hitch ball. If you are concerned about the amount of noise the hitch makes you can utilize the Sway Bracket Jackets # EQ95-01-5150 to greatly reduce the amount of noise from the hitch.
