Weight Distribution Hitch for Tongue Weight Under 500 lbs That Weighs Less Than 70 lbs

Question:

Assuming a tongue weight of less than 500 lb, are there any weight distribution/sway control hitches with a physical weight of less than 70 lb?

Hey Mike! We do have an option that weighs less than 70 lbs. The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control for 2" Hitch # BXW0550 weighs 50 lbs. This is designed to work with trailer tongue weights ranging from 350 lbs - 550 lbs. If you have any additional questions feel free to reach out in the comments below.

Thanks, 50 lb. sounds amazing. However, "AI" said 100 lbs, so just to be sure I wrote to Blue Ox to verify; they informed me that the physical weight is 85 lbs.

@Mike I literally asked Blue Ox, so I'm not sure where the discrepancy is coming from. I can tell you that we list the shipping weight for this model of the SwayPro at 66 lbs. That wrench that comes with it is 5 lbs. Then there is packaging on top of it, so I would say it is closer to 50-60 lbs and not 85.
