Published 10/02/2025 >
Question:
Does the weighsafe pintle hitch with 6" drop WS52ER show tongue weight for both the pintle and ball setups, or only when using the hitch balls?

Expert Reply:
Larry, the built-in scale on the # WS52ER works in either configuration. Whether you’re hooked to the pintle or one of the hitch balls, the scale will show you the tongue weight in real time, accurate within 1-1/2%. That way you can keep it in the safe 10–15 % range of your trailer’s weight.
What kind of trailers are you planning to tow with it most often?
