Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2022 Ram 2500 Towing 2017 Forest River Wildwood 27RL
Question:
I just purchased a 2022 RAM 2500 Hemi with the factory rear air auto level suspension. Will be towing our 2017 forest river Wildwood 27RL travel trailer, 7500 Lbs dry, 9500 lbs max GVWR, so hitch weight probably around 900 lbs with a typical load. The truck tow rating sticker on the door is around 17000 lbs, 3100lbs payload, so not sure if I really need weight distribution, but do want anti-sway. What would be the best options for my setup?

Expert Reply:
For a trailer that big and heavy a weight distribution with sway control would be a really great option to give you the best ride quality and safety when towing. For that the best option would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and also features the best sway control for preventing sway before it starts.
