Question:
I have a 2022 Grand Cherokee WK with factory tow package and rated at 6200 tow capacity. I want to pull a 18 foot single axle travel trailer with an unloaded weight of 3800. I will keep my hitch weight at approximately 500 lbs, using a scale, and total trailer weight under 5000 lbs. Would it be just as effective and safe to use a Curt True Course by itself and not purchase a weight distribution/anti sway hitch kit, or sway bar?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Curt True Course part # C94VV is a really cool device that senses sway and applies the trailer brakes in a way to basically stops it before it you notice it. While this does take care of the sway problem it does not offer the other advantages of WD systems like suspension sag reduction, improved braking, and improved handling. This kit would work great with a WD system though.
For a weight distribution system the Equal-i-zer part # EQ37060ET would be a great option for your 500 lb tongue weight.

Would this eliminate the need for a traditional weight distribution hitch with sway control or does this work along with traditional sway control? Trying to figure out if I need both or if this can suffice and does a better job? Thank you!
