Hi Heeth! I see you already ordered 7-way wiring and the Curt TriFlex NEXT # C25YV. Did you also find a hitch? If not, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR. However, aftermarket hitches are not compatible with a weight distribution hitch so you won't be able to use one. The same is probably true for an OEM hitch and it is the vehicle that is the limiting factor.

Once you get everything hooked up take a look and see if you have a lot of sag from your trailer. Custom fit suspension enhancement isn't available for your vehicle but there are some universal options we can look at if need be. If you're worried about trailer sway the Curt True Course Advanced Bluetooth Trailer Sway Control # C94VV would take care of that in place of a weight distribution hitch w/ sway control.

What kind of trailer will you be towing?

Catalina 134rdx Think I'll pass on the weight distribution thing for now. I need to flip my ball mount. I was wondering what size of socket or wrench i would need?

@HeethP it isn't universal so you would have to measure what is on there to find out.

@HeethP ah I see that now. It isn't listed for us because it is pre-torqued and ready to go. I'm not in the office today so I reached out to our team there to see if someone can get that for me. If nothing else, I'll be there Sunday or Monday and measure it myself. More than likely it takes a 1-7/8" thin walled socket but I can't say for sure without verifying.
