Question:
I currently have a 2016 Ford Flex that has a 4k hitch and towing capacity. Our new camper is ~3200 fully loaded. I get about 1.5 of suspension sag when hooked up. Do you recommend a weight distribution hitch?

Hello Dwayne,
Congrats on the new camper! What did you end up getting?
Yes, a weight distribution system is going to be your best option when pulling your camper to eliminate that sag.
When your camper is fully loaded you want your tongue weight to be between 10-15% of your overall weight, that would put between 320-480 pounds. I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control for 2" Hitch - 5.5K GTW, 550 lbs TW # BXW0550.
I attached a review video for you to check out, let me know what you think about it.
