Question:
We are first time owners of a 2024 Cherokee Grey Wolf Hitch weight: 450 lb. UVW is 4053 lb. GVWR 7450 lb. CCC 3397 pounds. We will be towing it with a 2015 Toyota Tundra. We hoped to get one with no chains so its not a pain to put on, and we get it fitted correctly. Thank you for any help you can give us.

Hello Dita; it sounds like you have the 2024 Cherokee Grey Wolf 20RDSE and you're looking for a weight distribution hitch. When you choose a WDH you want to base it off of the tongue weight of your loaded setup. The best way to find this is with a tongue weight scale like the # BTBRV44FR. However, since we have the specs of your trailer we can make a pretty good guess.
Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight. This means if you're sitting at the GVWR it will be 745-1,117 lbs of tongue weight. Realistically, I don't think it will be over 1,000 and you probably won't be maxing out the weight of the travel trailer. On the low end, you have a dry hitch weight of 450 lbs. This does not include batteries or propane so once you add those in you're probably pushing 600 lbs unloaded.
Based on these numbers I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET. Equal-i-zer makes a great, reliable system considered by many to be the best. The tongue weight range for this WDH is 600-1,000 lbs so you're going to be covered at the high and low end with the trailer.
The only reason I see you needing a different rating is if you're carrying a lot in your truck bed. The weight of anything behind your rear axle also counts as tongue weight. If you plan to carry a lot of additional cargo in the Tundra whenever you tow the trailer you may need the # EQ37120ET instead with an 800-1,200 lb range. Then again, if you make sure any significant weight is in front of the rear axle you won't have to worry about it.
