Maximum Tongue Weight Capacity of C45795 Hitch Extender if Used With Weight Distribution Bars
Question:
What would be the maximum tongue weight on this one using weight distribution bars? My Travel trailer has a Tongue weight of 395lbs.
asked by: Josh
Expert Reply:
The maximum tongue weight capacity in any circumstance for the # C45795 hitch extender is 350 lbs. Keep in mind, though that using an extender will reduce the tongue weight and towing capacity of your hitch by 50% which will limit you to whatever the capacity of your lowest-rated component is.
Because using the extender will reduce the tongue weight capacity to a large degree, I wouldn't recommend using an extender. If you could reply and tell me exactly what you're needing to accomplish, I'd be happy to look into other possible solutions for you.
