Recommended Weight Distribution System for 3,500 Lb Trailer
Question:
We have a 2003 Toyota 4Runner and are looking for a WDH with sway control to pull a 3500lb trailer with 430LB TW. Do you have something that would work that allows backing up? Thanks!

The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System part # FA92-00-0600 is my recommendation for a 3,500 lb trailer. It has integrated sway control and it can be left hooked up while reversing but keep in mind you won't be able to back up at a sharp angle as this can cause damage to the head which will be the case for any system. They all allow for reverse but you can't back up at too sharp an angle. The only thing you'll need to complete the setup is a hitch ball, part # A-90 or part # 19286.
