Question:

My tow vehicle is a 2024 f350 dually. Would the Weigh Safe part WS99MR be a good choice to pull a 2022 Grand Design 31G? if not, what would you recommend? thank you in advance.

Hey Steve! I would go with the 18.5K GTW Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch item # WS37RR over the 22K GTW item # WS99MR you were looking at. It looks like your Grand Design has a tongue weight between 1,200 lbs - 1,600 lbs and this will put you closer to that range. The 22K GTW item # WS99MR is going to be overkill.

The 18.5K GTW Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch item # WS37RR also comes with a 2-1/2" shank and has the same built-in tongue weight scale. I have linked a review video below that will walk you through all the features of this weight distribution hitch. If you have any additional questions feel free to reach out directly in the comment box below.

Hello I’m looking at the weigh safe weight distribution hitch but I’m deciding between the 18.5k and 22k. I tow with my 2022 Chevy 3500 Silverado dually and the trailer I own is a 2023 attitude eclipse 27SAG toy hauler ,it has a gvwr of 9900 that’s the trailer itself I also tow with my 4 door Polaris rzr inside almost all the time. I was thinking the 22k more for the fact that in some occasions I also have some weight on the bed a quad or my sons mini rzr 170. Id like your recommendation when available thanks in advance.

@GermanR I would go with the 18.5K GTW Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch item # WS49MR. Toy haulers tend to have a heavier tongue weight when loaded but that 22K item # WS99MR is going to be way over-rated when you're not hauling something that heavy in the bed. Fully loaded your Attitude Eclipse might have a 1,500 lbs tongue weight. That's going to be a super uncomfortable and stiff ride with the 22K item # WS99MR.
