Question:

Hi- I have a 2023 Ram 1500 limited with air suspension and am going to tow a 2027 ATC ROM 450 20 enclosed aluminum frame car trailer. What weight distributing/sway control hitch would you recommend? Total loaded trailer weight will be approx. 7,500 lbs max. Thank you!

Hey Neil!

That's a great setup! Based on your estimated maximum gross weight of 7,500 lbs. and the tongue weight average of about 15%, you're going to need a weight distribution hitch rated for about 1,100 lbs of tongue weight.

The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET is a very solid and safe option for your 2027 ROM 450 20 trailer. It's rated for up to 1,200 lbs of tongue weight and 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight, though that's just a maximum rating, not necessarily the number to focus on. This system uses friction to control the sway of the trailer and evenly distribute the tongue weight to your 2023 Ram 1500 Limited. The head included with the # EQ37120ET has a maximum 6" drop, but if the air suspension causes your truck to sit high and need a larger drop, the Equalizer Weight-Dist Shank # EQ44FR is directly compatible and will give you up to 12" of drop.

What car are you hauling in the ATC, and do you tow in windy areas often?
