Box came destroyed with parts falling out. No surprise, parts are missing. Will update review if Reese or etrailer are able to solve this issue without difficulty.

Hitch has worked well. Initially it made noise when towing. Ive since lubed the spring arms where they attach and lock in place.

I have a 2022 Titan Pro4x with a 6-inch lift and 35-inch tires. We purchased a 2024 Grand Design Imagine 2800BH travel trailer. I knew I needed a weight distribution hitch with sway bars, and I knew I was not going with the chain-style WDH. We used the chain style with our previous travel trailer and I was white-knuckled everywhere I drove.
This hitch reduced the sway, 18-wheeler suction when they passed me, and the front end of my truck was only 1/2 inch different than when it was unloaded.
My complaints are minor but should be noted. The trailer frame brackets bent inward at the bottom bolt when tightening to 80 lbs as the instructions advised to do. Also, the bottom silver bolt of the trailer frame bracket is too long and pushes out on the L bracket where the arms rest.
The shank is designed to fit a 2-inch receiver. It is not a snug fit and was able to move up and down, plus side to side. Not only does this cause instability but it also creates noise. While it wasn't much movement, it was noticeable. I was required to purchase a hitch tightener to create a snug fit and limit movement. As much as this product costs, adding a hitch tightener (normally $12) to the package would have been appropriate.
Overall, I'd buy the product again as it does its job, but I would have first gone to a home improvement store and purchased shorter bolts for the bottom frame bracket to avoid bending the steel frame brackets.

etrailer carries a great selection of “all things trailers”. Having built several trailers previously I wish I had known about this company earlier. The explanation for each item was thorough and helpful. The order and delivery were were expedited quickly. Communication was fantastic. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to anyone looking for trailer parts and for construction of same.
Thank you etrailer!

I continue to be very pleased with the product and etrailer. If I could help assist anyone with deciding if they should purchase from this great company I would tell them “you can’t go wrong with them”! Thank you for being a highly dedicated company with great staff…often rare today.

Complete fiasco ordering from this site. Save your precious time and buy local or from another site. Product was received at my local distribution office and just sent back to etrailer…no explanation. I was counting on my product to arrive on a certain date in order to start our family vacation. Didn’t happen and had to cancel…paying cancellation fees. Again, no explanation, just that they would deliver a new package. It arrived today, but 7 days too late. Not pleased.

Heavy duty product
Instructions are vague
by: Alan 07/20/2022
Just bought a new travel trailer and the dealer hooked this up to my truck/trailer. 60 mile ride home and it went very smooth. I haven't taken the truck/trailer off road yet but when I do I'll have extra peace of mind know the trailer weight is properly distributed and I have the anti-sway control. The dealer wanted to sell me one of their units that was exactly the same design but over twice as much money. Reese makes good quality towing products and I'm sure I'll be happy with this equipment.

More pleased than ever to have this weight distribution hitch. Lat month we took our trailer to Bryce Canyon and the wind on the way down was blowing very hard. Semi-tractor trailers were swerving into adjacent lanes when a hard gust would hit. It was unnerving. Have the hitch didnt make the wind go away but it made it much easier to handle the wind gusts. Ive also been more conscious of other trucks pulling trailers and their trailers are swaying. Glad I made the investment of a good quality Reese hitch.
by: Kenneth 01/25/2024
All equipment and hardware arrived in good packaging and all components and clear install instructions were included. My rig is stored for the winter one hour away, so installation will have to wait until Spring.

Great product, super fast shipping, great service. Did not disappoint. Made pulling my 32' trailer a breeze.
by: Jarrod12/29/2022
Josh was very helpful when I discovered that UPS had done something that made my hitch undeliverable. He expedited the process to get a new one shipped out once UPS had done their investigation. It's a very solid construction, and I am looking forward to our inaugural trip with the new camper this weekend.
by: James 08/28/2023
I would have given an Excellent rating, but etrailer had to ship three units before I finally received one. I don't totally blame etrailer, most of the blame has to go to UPS. Part of the blame on etrailer's par,t I believe has to do with their packageing of the product. When I finally received my package, the box was totally "mangled" and I was surprised that all of the parts were there. The UPS driver was really complaining about the packaging, stating "They should know better than to try to ship a 100+ pound package in a cardboard box". I agree with the driver and I think that is where the problem was with the first two packages. The box fell apart and all of the parts never made it to the next destination. As far as the product, I give it 5 stars. Getting it delivered was the problem.
by: James04/25/2024
Excellent customer service. Even when a piece didn't work out they rapidly replaced it with Excellent communication.

Received my sway bars today installed in no time at all. I'm very pleased with my purchase
by: Nick07/10/2023
Very good product! Pretty easy to setup once I found the [online] video from the Reese Co. Made a world of difference when towing my travel trailer. My truck and trailer were rolling down the highway straight as an arrow. My only criticism, like many others, is that the packaging left a lot to be desired. All the parts were rattling around inside the box. They were beat up pretty bad, but it was all cosmetic. It still functioned perfectly. You could throw a little rustoleum spray paint on it if you want, and that should suffice. If they don’t want to ship it in a crate, at least bubble wrapping it may help.
by: Matthew03/23/2023
Package came VERY damaged in shipping lots of nicks and dings, paint wear on product. Package said it was delivered but did not receive until next day.

Goodness me, it did have a time of it during the shipment. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. You can spray paint it with a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum.
by: Charles Schai06/15/2023
Pretty easy to assemble, getting the angle right took some time. Truck is now sitting level.

We were surprised at how well it worked in keeping the trailer from swaying. Very easy to install

It is well worth it price. It makes pulling the camper so much easier
by: Jordan 06/07/2023
Way more than I need, but expecting to use it on a larger truck with this trailer. It does great to keep the taller camp we have stable and the available heights made it easy to balance and level the trailer. Easy to use once it's installed.
by: Jim 04/25/2024
Great service knowledgeable of product
by: George05/20/2023
I replaced an older Reese hitch with this new one. Due to shipping damage to the box, some parts were missing when I received it. I contacted customer service about my issue. They immediately resolved it and got the missing parts shipped to me. I was completely satisfied with everyone at etrailer and will order again soon.

See what our Experts say about this Reese Weight Distribution Hitch
- Recommended Weight Distribution System For A 2012 Forest River Rockwood Roo 233SFor your 2012 Forest River Rockwood Roo 233S I recommend the Blue Ox Track Pro # BLU67FR. This is intended for campers with a tongue weight between 600 and 800 lbs. According to the online user manual for a 2012 Forest River Rockwood Roo 233S, you trailer has a tongue weight of about 650 lbs. The Blue Ox Track Pro will give you immediate noticeable results. It will help to level your ride, which will improve your handling, and help to prevent sway. The spring bars will keep the trailer...
view full answer... - Is the 800 Lb Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System Enough for 750 Lbs Tongue WeightThe Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System part # RE94FR is rated for up to 800 lbs of tongue weight. If the tongue weight of the trailer is 750 lbs than this system would technically work but it does not leave much room for error or upgrading so I instead recommend the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System part # RE44FR which is rated for up to 1,150 lbs of tongue weight. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System is complete meaning it comes with everything you...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A 2010 Ford F-150 Towing A Car Hauler Trailer For your setup I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0800. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity range of 500 - 800lbs to help with your varying loads. It allows for backing up so you won't have to remove the spring bars to back up. With this friction setup you'll also have 2-point sway control to help keep the trailer tracking straight behind you. I've attached a short video below where Dave will walk you through the installation process.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Hitch for 1,150 lbs Tongue WeightThere are some great options for using a weight distribution hitch with your new trailer. I recommend the Reese Weight Distribution System # RE44FR. This WD system is rated for 1,150 lbs tongue weight and can tow up to 11,500 lbs. Check out the video linked below for more details. However, your 1,150 tongue weight rating for your trailer might be for just the empty trailer and not fully loaded. In that case, you need a higher tongue weight capacity system, such as the Curt MV Weight Distribution...

view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for 1986 Holiday Rambler Alumalite TrailerI can help you determine the best weight distribution system to use, but you will need to confirm the GVWR and tongue weight of your trailer on the spec plate or sticker on the trailer. The best way to select a weight distribution hitch is with the tongue weight and GVWR of your trailer and the tongue weight should typically be 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer. Assuming you use the full GVWR of the camper then you'll need a weight distribution hitch with at least 900-lbs of capacity....
view full answer... - Are Replacement Round Bars Available for Reese Weight Distribution Hitch 49913I may have a solution for you to get back on the road, but I reached out to my contact at Reese and unfortunately they currently do not have a service kit that would allow you to replace lost bars from a Reese # RE44FR system (44913). The # RE44FR is a newly designed system and the connection between the head and bars is new and not compatible with any of the old bars. Currently your only available solution would be to replace your springs bars by getting a new # RE44FR altogether; you'd...
view full answer... - Can Friction Sway Control be Added to Reese Pro Round Bar Weight DistributionYes, you can add friction sway control to your Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE44FR, and Reese recommends this is exactly what you should do to improve the sway control (just keep in mind friction sway control cannot be used on trailers with surge brakes). For trailers that weigh between 6,000 lbs and 10,000 lbs you will need to use two friction sway control systems for the best performance, and for the best quality I recommend going with a system from Curt: - Curt Friction...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution for 2017 Dutchmen Kodiak Ultra-Lite 283BHSLThe weight distribution system you use needs to be rated for the tongue weight of your 2017 Dutchmen Kodiak Ultra-Lite 283BHSL. The # RE94FR has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and your dry tongue weight is 754 lbs so you will easily exceed the capability of the system, making it ineffective. Based on that tongue weight, the 5,579 lb dry weight of the trailer, and the 7,600 GVWR you need the # RE44FR instead. This has a tongue weight range of 600-1,150 lbs so it will have you covered...
view full answer... - Can Shank Be Turned Upside Down And Head Tilted On Reese Weight Distribution System Yes, you can flip the shank in the weight distribution system # RE44FR upside down in order to get more of a rise. In this position the maximum rise is 8-1/2 inches measured from the top of the hitch receiver opening to the top of the ball platform on the weight distribution head. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Is Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Spring Bar Interchangeable with Other BrandsSpring bars of weight distribution systems are not interchangeable based on diameter. They have grooves in the ends of them that allows them to fit into the head of the system and for every brand and line there are differences. So unless you had a Reese or Pro Series system 49913 already what you have now would not fit in the head of the # RE44FR. If you have something different let me know and I can see if there's a similar solution.
view full answer... - Can Equal-i-zer Sway Control Brackets Be Used on a Reese Weight Distribution SystemNo, the Outer Link Plate for Equal-i-zer Sway Control Bracket # EQ90-02-5378 and Inner Link Plate for Equal-i-zer Sway Control Bracket # EQ90-02-5208 will not work with your Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE44FR (49913). The systems use different sized hardware, which makes them incompatible. The Outer Link Plate for Equal-i-zer Sway Control Bracket # EQ90-02-5378 and Inner Link Plate for Equal-i-zer Sway Control Bracket # EQ90-02-5208 will work with a system...
view full answer... - Can You Upgrade The Reese 49912 Weight Distribution For a Higher Weight Capacity? I have a recommendation for you as I was told by Reese the 49912 # RE94FR is not upgradable to the Reese # RE44FR. Instead I recommend switching over to the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-1200. This hitch is rated for trailers up to 12,000lbs with a tongue weight of 800-1,200lbs. I like this as well as it uses trunnion spring bars which are less likely to become damaged either from bending or falling out of the hitch while you are driving. If you switch to a smaller camper you...

view full answer... - Is A Weight Distribution System Needed To Pull My 6,000lb Trailer With My 2022 Ford F-350?Anytime a trailer's fully loaded weight is over 50% of the tow vehicles gross weight it is recommended to use a weight distribution system. I went ahead and found that your 2022 Ford F-350 has a GVWR range of 10,100lbs - 12,400lbs. If your trailer fully loaded is under 6,200lbs, then you don't technically need a WDS, but it wouldn't hurt to have one. If you're interested in a WDS, the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE44FR is a great option that'll work for...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System that Can Be Used on 600 and 1,000 lb Tongue Weight TrailerWe have weight distribution systems that have a wide enough range for 600 and 1,000 lbs tongue weight but the Blue Ox part # BLU75FR has too high of a range for the 600 lb side. Instead you'd want the Reese kit part # RE44FR which has a range from 600 to 1,150 lbs and is overall pretty similar.
view full answer... - Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch For 2021 Starcraft Aluminum Ridge BH Travel TrailerDefinitely a smart idea to make sure you're ordering the right part, and we can get you set up with the right Reese weight distribution hitch, but the correct one depends on the specific model of your 2021 Starcraft Autumn Ridge. Based on my research, there are two models of BH, the 19BH with a 4,450 lb GVWR, and 26BH, with a 6,500 lb GVWR. So depending on which model you have, here is the correct Reese hitch: - 2021 Starcraft Autumn Ridge 26BH: Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution...
view full answer... - How To Determine Weight Distribution Hitch Fit for 2020 Forest River Wildwood XLiteIn order to find a weight distribution hitch for your 2020 Forest River Wildwood you will need to know your tongue weight. Tongue weight is the most important factor when it comes to determining the correct system. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight. Ideally you want your actual tongue weight to be somewhere in the middle of the range of the weight distribution system. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE44FR has a tongue weight range of...
view full answer... - Which Reese Weight Distribution System to Use with 4,000 lb TrailerWe have a great similar system that would work well for you but the part # RE44FR is rated too high for a 4,000 lb trailer. You'd have a very harsh ride quality with this due to the spring bars being rated for a much heavier trailer. Instead you'd want the part # RP65509 which has a tongue weight range of 200 to 600 lbs.
view full answer... - Choosing A Weight Distribution That Works With A 2018 Forest River Rockwood Roo Travel TrailerThe Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System # RE44FR will work with your 2018 Forest River Rockwood Roo Travel Trailer, as long as your fully loaded ready to go tongue weight is in the range of 600 lbs - 1,150 lbs. If you are unsure what your trailer's tongue weight is, you can use a tongue weight scale # e99044 to find this figure. I have attached a FAQ detailing more about how you can determine the correct weight distribution system.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution and Sway Control for Winnebago MicroMinni 2100BHThe Reese Pro Round Bar weight distribution system would work great for your Winnebago Microminnie 2100BH but the part number you'd want is the # RE94FR which has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs which would work great for the weight of your trailer. Going with a system like the part # RE44FR which is rated much higher would give you a very harsh ride quality.
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendations for 10K Enclosed Car TrailerAnytime the weight of a trailer exceeds 50% of the vehicle's weight (which it does, in this case) weight distribution is highly recommended. Because enclosed trailers have a large surface area on the sides which act like the sail on a boat when impacted by crosswinds or turbulence from oncoming or passing traffic, using a weight distribution kit with an integral sway control component is also highly recommended. Weight distribution will level out the ride height between the truck's front...
view full answer... - Can Friction Sway Control be Used with Reese Weight Distribution RE44FRYou can add a friction sway control to the Reese weight distribution system part # RE44FR with the Reese unit part # 83660 as there is a tab for the ball of this kit on either side of the head. The # RE44FR does have a tongue weight range of 600 to 1,150 lbs which by the time your trailer is loaded should be fine as yours would most likely be above 600. Now since you said it rode fine I would say that's the true test that you are okay. Normally if you use a WD system that is rated too...
view full answer... - Can 725 lbs Tongue Weight Be Used with Reese Weight Distribution # RE44FRThe Reese weight distribution system # RE44FR that you referenced has a tongue weight range of 600-1,150 lbs which means your tongue weight of 725 lbs would work perfectly. This would work great for your current trailer and if you plan to upgrade in the future it gives you room to grow as well.
