Question:
My truck has a 2.5 hitch but it looks like there are two different options from B&W. How do I know if my trailer is underslung or not?
asked by: Lindsey
Expert Reply:
The vast majority of trailers on the market use a standard coupler (installed on top of the trailer frame) which is compatible with the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # BW28FR.
Underslung couplers aren't as common but are still used fairly often. These have the couplers mounted from the bottom of your trailer frame and are compatible with the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # BW53FR instead.
I'm attaching pictures of both styles of couplers so you can check what you have against the photo to help make sure you get the right Continuum system the first time.
