I recommend using the Reese Weight Distribution Kit with Shank, # RP65509, for towing a travel trailer with your 2002 Chevy Trailblazer. This weight distribution system has a maximum tongue weight rating of 600 pounds.

It is a good idea to determine the tongue weight of your trailer to make sure that it does not exceed the tongue weight rating of the weight distribution system. I am including an article that covers some common questions about weight distribution that you may want to take a look at. In this article it goes over the different ways to determine tongue weight.
