Weight Distribution for Trailer with Tongue Weight Around 610 lbs

Published 02/09/2022

Question:

Hi, I have an Ozark 1650 2021 trailer being towed by a 2019 Ram 1500. The stated TTW is 410lbs and the stated GVWR is 4,810. I have 2 batteries 60lbs each and 2 propane tanks 40lbs each on the tongue. Am I right to estimate my hitch weight currently at 610 lbs? And therefore, should I be looking for WD/ Sway Control Systems for 700 TTW? Thank you!

Yeah I think your tongue weight estimation is about right and you are correct a weight distribution like the Fastway e2 part # FA92-00-0800 would be ideal as it has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs.
