The differences between The Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU45FR and The Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU36FR is that the #BLU45FR has a 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity when The # BLU36FR has a 6,000 pound gross towing weight capacity.

The # BLU45FR also has a 2-point sway control which limits the side-to-side movement. When it comes to using a weight distribution system you need to match the tongue weight of your trailer. If you're far below or far over the weight of your trailer it could be more dangerous then not having a weight distribution hitch at all.
