Question:
I have a 2016 Forest River Salem 261bhxl. I had a Reese pro series 49904 weight distribution hitch but someone stole the hitch from my truck. So I need a new weight distribution hitch with sway control. My tongue weight ranges from 700-1100lbs. I haul the camper with a 2020 F150. What Weight Distribution Hitch would you recommend?

Hey Mike, sorry to hear about your Reese system getting stolen! Thieves are the worst...for a replacement though the Reese # RE44FR would work great and essentially is the current version of what you had before so it would work great for you. You might also be interested in a hitch lock like the part # e98882 to make it harder for thieves to steal your setup.
