Question:
I have a 2026 Ford F-150 and we're picking up a 2026 Forest River Aurora Light 13BHX. The camper has a listed hitch weight of 280 lbs. What weight distribution hitch would you recommend for this setup? I'd like something with sway control since we'll be doing quite a bit of highway driving.

Expert Reply:
Hey Brandon, congratulations on the new camper! Based on those specs I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Hitch # BLU69VJ for your Aurora Light 13BHX. This system has a tongue weight range of 200-550 lbs, which will be a good fit even after adding your propane, battery, and camping gear.
Keep in mind, any cargo you carry in the F-150 behind the rear axle also counts toward the tongue weight when choosing a weight distribution hitch. If you carry a lot of heavy gear in the truck you may need the # BXW0750 with the higher rating instead.
Where are you headed for your first trip with the new camper?
