Question:

I have a 2017 ford f150 and pull an 18 ft long enclosed trailer. What weight distribution hitch would you recommend

Hey Mike. The answer to your question depends on how heavy your 18' long enclosed trailer is. Weight distribution systems are chosen based off of trailer weight.

What make and model trailer do you have? You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.

@MikeI Thanks for the information. For a 7,000 lbs trailer you can use the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0800. This system works with tongue weights ranging between 400 lbs - 800 lbs. It comes with a 2" shank and the built in sway control will keep your trailer in line behind your F-150 when you make any sudden movements. This system does not include a hitch ball. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # A-90 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40030.
