Expert Reply:

The Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution System # C69JR is going to be to much hitch for your Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16BHS. Your Wolf Pup should have around 400lbs of tongue weight while this Curt system is rated for a trailer with 800-1,000lbs of tongue weight. I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET as it is a far superior hitch system and is rated for 200-600lbs of tongue weight which puts you right in the middle of the zone. This hitch will include a 2" hitch ball like you are needing as well. The Equal-i-zer is superior to the Curt as it uses trunnion bars which are not as likely to weaken or bend as the round bars on the Curt which already have a bend, creating a weak point. Equal-i-zer also continues to be the standard all other hitch manufactures strive to compete and compare themselves too. Plus the hitch is made in the USA so you know you are getting quality components.

You will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the 2" hitch ball if you plan on installing this system yourself.
