Availability Of Blue Ox Weight Distribution System W/ Sway Control For Tongue Weight Under 800lbs
Question:
Hello, Does the Blue Ox weight distribution and sway bar come in a hitch weight rating of less than 800 lbs? I have a Geo Pro with hitch rating of 418 lbs. I dont want to increase the bumpiness of the trailer with a bar that is overrated. Thank you

There is the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW # BLU36FR which works with total tongue weights from 200-600lbs and still has the sway control you were looking for.
Keep in mind that you will need to know your total tongue weight rating which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any additional cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Using the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 is a great way to get an accurately measure your tongue weight.
If you find that your total tongue weight is over 600lbs you will need to move up to the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 8K GTW, 800 lbs TW # BLU47FR which is rated for 600-800lbs total tongue weight.
I included videos for both of the products mentioned and a link to a helpful article on measuring tongue weight for you to take a look at.
