Question:

I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude with the tow package 4500 lb / 450 lb hitch weight max and Im going to be pulling a Jayco travel trailer 2960 lbs UVW / 3750 lbs GVW / 315 lbs dry hitch weight. What sway control would work best for this?

The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.

For a loaded tongue weight of 450 lbs the part # RP66082 would be best option as it has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs and features only sway control on market to work to fight sway before it starts.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
