Thanks for reaching out, James! That's going to be a pretty sweet setup you'll be putting together!

I really like the 12.5K Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch # WS94RR for this application as well. The built-in tongue weight scale makes sure you get the weight shifted around in your trailer the right way every single time.

This one is for a 2" hitch receiver, and the clamps fit up to a 6" tall trailer frame, with the option of getting the Kit # WS89RR if the CyberTrailer frame ends up being taller than 6" (but not taller than 8"). There's still some mystery surrounding this trailer which is why the frame height is still a little unknown.

Once you get your rig all set up and you're able to take some photos out in the wild you should share them with us! I'm really intrigued by the whole Cyber Truck system, and I'd love to see what it all looks like in real life!

Thanks, questions: 1) The length of the ball from the hitch is concerning not because the advantage of being able to lower the tailgate (nice feature), but because it lowers the tongue weight capability for bike rack/ebike rack weight limits. I suppose I could get two different hitches to accomodate, but this hitch without towing the trailer would stick out and be kind of a non-starter both looks and diminished tongue weight. I guess this isn't a question, just a concern. 2) Am assuming the sway control is designed to fit most/all trailers, but without having my trailer yet, hoping that is not a concern that if I purchase now, will it fit the Cybertrailer which hasn't yet been built/released. 3) With the WS89RR kit, wondering if that would enable two-ball system, where the lower settings might fit the trailer, and a higher ball might accomodate a bike rack. I know this is creating potential tongue weight issues, but interested in your comments or whether that is even a possibility with the kit 2" extension (6-8"). I'm thinking maybe to wait until the specs on the trailer are finalized before getting this hitch. Thank you again for your recommendation, I like it so far!

@JamesT Great questions and concerns - I think it's wise to wait until the trailer is official with all of the specs before making an investment like this. I'll address your questions/concerns in the same order: 1) Tongue weight becomes a weird thing when a weight distribution hitch is thrown in the mix. Basically, since the weight distribution system is applying a type of upward force, it isn't counted as tongue weight when everything is hooked up to the trailer. It counts as tongue weight when the bars aren't being used, but it doesn't count when they are used. Hopefully this makes some type of sense (people still argue about this in all honesty). 2) Yes, the brackets that come with this will fit the vast majority of trailer frames out there, but there isn't much info out on the physical traits for the CyberTrailer so we'll probably want to wait and see to make sure. 3) In my experience, the only hitch ball size that's compatible with bike racks is a 50mm size. We used to have one that would work, but now pretty much all other ones we carry have a different shank that won't fit with a bike rack. If you let me know what bikes you have, I can see if we have any alternative options for you. For example, the Lets Go Aero Jack-It PLUS Bike Rack # LGA47ZR installs over a tongue jack and can hold standard bikes that don't weigh over 40 lbs. Let me know if you end up having any other questions, hopefully this helps out!
