What Does B and W Continuum Weight Distribution # BW78FR Weigh

Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 03/18/2023

Question:

How much does this system weigh in its entirety? I would have to subtract this weight from the overall tongue weight capacity, correct?

Expert Reply:

The B and W Continuum # BW78FR weights 55 lbs but this does not count against the tongue weight capacity of your hitch. B and W states that this essentially becomes a part of the vehicle hitch so it's additional weight does not need to get factored.

What is the approximate weight of just the load bar assembly?

@JamesonC. Is this information correct? The product page says 35lbs for hit head and 20lbs for bar assembly. I chatted yesterday with an eTrailer rep who confirmed the entire setup weighs 55lbs vs the 110lb you listed in this post. Can you confirm which one is correct?

@Matt you are right. I am not sure where I got that info from but it was a while ago so I would assume we had the wrong info on the product page. I updated this.
