Expert Reply:

I show that you purchased Curt Class III Hitch Receiver # 13385 for your Honda Ridgeline. Thank you for your business. This hitch is indeed rated for use with a weight distribution system.

In order to select a suitable weight distribution system for your trailer you will need to measure the trailer's actual tongue weight when it is fully loaded with all supplies and equipment, full water and propane tanks, just exactly as it will be loaded when you hit the road. Weight distribution systems must be matched to your trailer's fully loaded tongue weight in order for them to work properly. I have linked you to two helpful articles that will give you information information about these systems and how to accurately measure tongue weight.

Weight distribution systems are available with or without sway control. If you experience trailer sway when large vehicles pass you on the highway, or when driving in windy conditions, then a system that includes sway control is a good idea.

The link provided will take you to our main page for weight distribution where you can select a system with or without sway control and then choose your measured tongue weight to see systems that will match your trailer. The linked article will help you decide which type will best suit your trailer frame.

It is a good idea to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to confirm use of a weight distribution system is permissible on your vehicle.
