Weight Distribution Recommend for 2017 Toyota Tacoma Towing Trailer with 320 lb dry Tongue Weight
Question:
What is the best product for wdh for my 2017 tacoma 4d long bed with tow package. Tow capacity is 6400 with 640 hitch weight. My trailer is 320 dry hitch weight @ 2600 dry weight 18ft long. I already have air bags on the truck but i still get some annoying bounce.

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.
Since your tongue weight is 320 lbs dry the best system we have for that would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66082. This system has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs and features the only sway control that works 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.
