What is Weight Distribution in Relation to a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Draw-Tite Hitch
Question:
Maximum GTW when used with weight distribution What would this be? Is it on the trailer or the hitch? Thank you for your time
asked by: Zeb
Expert Reply:
The maximum tongue weight with weight distribution for the Draw Tite Trailer Hitch # DT78MR is 675 lbs. Weight distribution is designed to distribute the weight more evenly to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer.
Since the weight is carried more level you will often see a second weight capacity for hitches and vehicles if they use a weight distribution system.
Typically weight distribution systems are recommended when the trailer weighs more than 50 percent of the weight of the vehicle. Check out the FAQ article I attached on weight distribution systems also.
