There is some basic information you need before you can choose the right weight distribution system for your set up. First, you need to know the tongue weight of the trailer. Second, you will need to know the gross weight of the trailer you plan to tow. These are two of the most important factors in choosing a weight distribution system.
Usually, you will need weight distribution if the trailer weight is at least 50 percent of the vehicle weight or if the coupled trailer causes the rear... view full answer...
I pulled the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler, # CT-3001-Z, from our warehouse and the installation instructions state that you should use 1/2 inch diameter, grade 5 bolts and locknuts to mount this coupler to the trailer tongue. They said that it is acceptable to use 4 separate bolts or two long bolts passing through all four holes. You can also add two bolts to the top holes for extra strength. view full answer...

The Curt Class III hitch # 13424 that fits your 2010 Chevrolet Traverse LT2 has a tongue weight (TW) capacity of 500-lbs when used with a hitch-mount cargo carrier like their # C18150.

This is usually about 10-percent of the gross towing capacity and should be noted in your owner's manual. I checked an online version of the 2010 Traverse manual for its TW rating but... view full answer...

This is why roof rack tent manufacturers will say that the rack the tent is used on needs to have a dynamic rating of at least 165 lbs to be able to carry the fully weight of the tent plus people. view full answer...

From what I was able to find out from my research, the base model of the 2014 Chevy Traverse has a towing capacity of 2000-lbs, so that's the maximum weight you'll be able to safely tow without potentially damaging your vehicle. I would recommend confirming this with your owner's manual for advice on specific trim packages that you may have, but you'll always be limited by the lowest rated component in your towing setup.
In this case, even though the available hitches like the Draw-Tite... view full answer...
