Will Weigh Safe True Tow Work With Jayco Jay Feather 19MRK

Question

Question:

We are buying our first trailer. Its a Jayco Jay Feather 19MRK. The hitch weight is 550lbs and the GVWR is 6400 lbs. Pulling it with an F150 rated at 7400lbs towing. I have been looking at the Weigh Safe distribution hitches. Would that hitch work for my trailer? Thanks, Ron

Hey Ron, congratulations on the new trailer! I have a Jay Feather myself and love it. You're definitely off to a great start with a weight distribution hitch, it will make a world of difference towing that trailer with your F-150. The Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch # WS79VR will work really well with your setup.

This version of the True Tow (Middleweight) is rated for a maximum 850 lbs tongue weight/8,500 lbs towing weight so that lines up nicely with the specs you provided. The system is easy to adjust so it will be perfectly set when you're headed out fully loaded, and when you're a little lighter on the way back.

Any big trips planned once you pick up the Jayco?

Hey Paul, thanks for the pic! That's a nice setup. It is highly recommended to use a weight distribution system if your trailer weighs 50% more than your truck's total weight and you are definitely there. For a 4,000 lbs cargo trailer, I…

The Curt hitch part #13703 that you referenced would be the best option we have most likely as it fits the most applications. Basically as long as the frame of your camper is between 22 and 72 inches in width when measured from outside to outside…

I would recommend that Blue Ox TrackPro #BLU77FR simply because it does not have lift chains like the SwayPro #BXW1006. Both will do a great job but the TrackPro will have a little less movement because of the absence of drop chains. Blue Ox is a…

Hey Charles, the install of the Weigh Safe WD system part #WS79VR isn't overly difficult but it would come down to being able to lift a decent amount of weight and tightening some bolts. If you have no issues lifting around 50 lbs I'd say…

When choosing a weight distribution system you want the gross tongue weight to fall near the middle of the range of the tongue weight capacity for the weight distribution system. I would guess the 467-lb you said your Airstream has is the dry weight.…

Hello Keith, I am sorry, but I do not see an class IV (4) aftermarket hitch for the 2024 Nissan Frontier. It might be because the highest towing capacity for the Frontier is the King Cab 4x2 at 6,640 lbs. For your 2024 Nissan Frontier I would go with…
