I really like the Blue Ox TrackPro systems because they have the built-in sway control and brackets with adjustments to fit different trailer tongue profiles They have the 13K system # BLU27FR as opposed to a 12K system but unless you have a really tongue-heavy setup and a lot of stuff sitting behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle the 10K system # BLU55FR will give you a better performance.

When looking into purchasing a Weight Distribution (WD) system you want to find one with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer, which you can use part # e99044 for, along with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Keep in mind that a properly loaded trailer will have a TW that is 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer.

The 13K system has a TW range of 1,000 lbs - 1,300 lbs while the 10K system has a TW range of 800 lbs - 1,000 lbs.
