How To Choose A Weight Distribution System For A Keystone Passport SL 219BH

Question:

Could you please recommend a weight distribution hitch for my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave? I will be towing at Keystone Passport SL 219BH that has a dry weight of 4713 lbs, a max weight of 6430 lbs and a tongue weight of 540 lbs. Would the Curt C17057 be a good choice?

Determining the correct weight distribution system for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave primarily hinges on on the trailer's actual fully-loaded ready-to-tow tongue weight as measured by one of the methods outlined in the linked article concerning tongue weight.

You mentioned your tongue weight is 540-lbs, I recommend verifying with a tongue weight scale # e99044 first. If this is still the case, recommend the Reese Weight Distribution System # RP67509 instead.

This system has a maximum tongue weight range of 400-800-lbs, and a maximum GTW of 10,000-lbs.

You're also going to want to verify that your hitch for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator is rated for weight distribution system.

I have attached an article on how you can determine trailer tongue weight to aid you.
