Expert Reply:
I have a weight distribution recommendation for you, but the Reese Weight Distribution Hitch # 66069 is obsolete and no longer available from Reese.
If you are looking for a light duty weight distribution system, I recommend the Reese Light Duty Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # 66557. This weight distribution system features trunnion bars for greater ground clearance, fits tongue weights between 250 - 400 pounds, and uses friction pads to help reduce trailer sway. This system requires, but doesn't come with, a hitch ball with a 1 inch diameter shank. I recommend the Tow Ready Hitch Ball # 63845.
To choose a weight distribution system that is properly rated for your system, you will want to find the tongue weight of your trailer. I have attached an article on how to measure your trailer's tongue weight. When using tongue weight to decide on a weight distribution system, you will also include the weight of any cargo carried behind the rear axle of your vehicle in addition to the tongue weight of the trailer. A weight distribution system works best when the tongue weight falls near the top range of the system without exceeding the system's maximum tongue weight.
