Question:

Hi I have a 2018 Dodge Ram 2500. Am towing a 25foot box length 27.5foot total length travel trailer with GVWR of 6160, hitch wgt. 426. What is the best hitch for me. Please take note that the receiver is 2.5, NOT 2. Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System part # RE94FR is an excellent, cost effective option for a 6,000-7,000 lb trailer. It's rated up to 8,000 lbs so anything between this and 4,000 lbs will be perfect. It's a complete system with included hitch ball already pre-torqued. It also offers both weight distributing and sway control properties.

Please note, for 2-1/2" trailer hitch applications you'll need a reducer like the Gen-Y Hitch Reducer Sleeve part # 325-GH-007.
