So far the product has worked well based on the trailer I’m using it on which is an aluminum trailer with single pole tongue

I had previously purchased a different pole tongue adapter that did not work. This one has worked perfectly with my weight distribution hitch. It is well built and heavy and my boat tows better than ever. I could not be happier.

So far so good. Had a shop install this add-on bracket for my boat trailer and it allowed me to install the appropriate wd hitch for my surge brake setup and pole tongue.
Worked W.

I really appreciate the follow up. The hitch setup has been working out really well. I am glad I went with the product and your company. Would not hesitate to do it again.

Became an excellent solution for two trailers that I had that were configured with a pole tongue style frame. Pleased with how this system has worked with my trailers and weight distribution hitch thus far. Only thing I noticed was the spacing of the holes where the bracket clamps to the tongue. My tongue dimensions did not give me a tight fit using the pre drilled holes in the brackets but a rather sizable gap between the bolts and the tongue. This was easily remedied by adding a spacer to make up the difference.

Stacey was very helpful in assisting me with piecing together weight distribution system. The pole tongue adapter by Reese is well built and will certainly provide the requirement needed to distribute weight. Buy with confidence!

This pole tongue adapter arrived with two 6-inch connecting bolts that secure the four mounts under the trailer tongue. Sadly, only the outside 1.5 inches of the hex bolts were threaded, which would be great if my trailer tongue was 4 inches wide. Mine is 3 inches wide (a standard width for heavy boat trailers), so I ran out of thread before the part was secured. So I could either get a whole bunch of flat washers (Grade 5), or try to get 5 inch hex bolts. I called Reese, they are shipping me 6-inch fully threaded bolts. Not sure if that is the strongest set-up; I ended up ordering 5 inch partially threaded bolts from Grainger. Grade 5 hex bolts are NOT at [average retail stores]. So a PIT[Y] but not a deal killer.

Works like a charm. I have a heavy boat / trailer with a straight (not a “v”) tongue and needed a way to hook up a distor hitch. This

See what our Experts say about this Reese Accessories and Parts
- Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Explorer Towing Boat Trailer with Surge BrakesBased on the capacities you said your vehicle has I would recommend a weight distribution system strongly. I have spoken with one of my contacts at Reese, and have been told that weight distribution can be used with a folding trailer coupler like yours as long as the manufacturer of the trailer says that its okay. You will want a Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393. The adapter would typically be installed approximately 30 inches to the rear of the coupler, if the hinged portion of the...
view full answer... - What Factors Determine Picking Out Correct Weight Distribution SystemThe trailer tongue length does not necessarily dictate which system you need, but if you have a pole tongue trailer hitch like what boat trailer typically have you will need a pole tongue adapter like the # RP58393. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2010 Ford F150 Towing a Boat TrailerActually for bumper towing situations suspension enhancement is not the most ideal solution as it will act as a fulcrum point and unload the front suspension of your tow vehicle slightly. These types of systems are better geared for gooseneck/fifth wheel towing or just hauling a heavy load in the bed of the truck. Instead you would want a weight distribution system. These systems will distribute the weight from tongue weight of your tow vehicle to the front axle. The best way to pick...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution Setup for Transporting Six Venture Boat Trailers With a 1995 F-250Since the trailer tongue weight is so high, I recommend Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution with Sway Control, # RP66561 for your 1995 Ford F-250. This system has a tongue weight capacity range of 700 - 1,400 pounds and a gross towing weight of 14,000 pounds. This system comes with a shank that fits 2-inch trailer hitches. An adjustable shank is included with the Reese Steadi-Flex weight distribution # RP66561 and has a maximum rise of 7 inches from top of hitch receiver opening. The...
view full answer... - Pole Tongue Adapter for Husky Center Line Weight Distribution SystemFor your application you can use the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 which works with lift brackets from all manufacturers that mount approximately 30" back from hitch ball. Since your Husky Center Line # HT32215 falls within that category and is rated for 6K (where the adapter is rated for 7.5K) this is the perfect option for you.
view full answer... - Price Conscious Weight Distribution Hitch System For 4,000LB Boat Trailer With Straight Pole TongueFor the most price-conscious weight distribution system, the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17050 can be used with the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP3280 on your Chaos boat trailer. This will take care of the weight distribution that Ford recommends that you use on your 2019 Ford Explorer. I recommend the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE34FR as it will give you added stability with the sway control. The sway control helps to reduce any trailer sway that...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution And Adapter For Trailer With Long Pole TongueWe have just what you need for your trailer with a pole tongue. I recommend a weight distribution system like the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System, part # RP66559. This system has a 10,000 lb capacity and is designed for tongue weight between 500 and 1,000 lbs, and is surge brake compatible. I also recommend the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems, part # RP58393. This mounts about 29 inches rearward on the tongue from the hitch ball and provides a...
view full answer... - Is it Possible to Use a Weight Distribution System and Sway Control on a Boat TrailerIt is possible to use weight distribution on a boat trailer. You will need to add a pole tongue adapter like Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems, # RP58393. This adapter will fit tongue widths from 1-5/8 inches to 5 inches and tongue heights from 3 inches to 6 inches. With the pole tongue adapter installed, you can add a weight distribution system like Reese SC Weight Distribution w Sway Control, # RP66155. I have included a link to the installation instructions for...
view full answer... - How to Prevent Trailer Sway with a Rockaway Travel TrailerTrailer sway is most commonly caused by not having enough tongue weight. You will want to move as much weight to the front of the trailer as possible as this will make the biggest difference. Next you want to make sure your trailer is being towed as level as possible. Check out the help article I attached that covers this topic as well. Lastly, you will want to use a weight distribution system with a sway control unit as your last line of defense. The best way to pick out a weight distribution...
view full answer... - Will Reese SC Weight Distribution System Work on a Pole Tongue TrailerYes, the Pole Tongue adapter part # RP58393 that you referenced will fit the Reese Steadi-Flex WD systems like the part # RP66560 that you referenced. You didn't mention your trailer, but in the off-chance you have an aluminum trailer you would need to check with the manufacturer of the trailer to determine if weight distribution is recommended. If you needed a hitch ball as well you would need part # A-90 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.
view full answer... - Can Weight Distribution be Used on Aluminum Boat Trailer with 2013 Infiniti QX56So there are a couple of things to look at for your situation. First, boat trailer tongue weights are often lower than travel trailers or utility trailers of the same gross weight. This is because the motors at the backs of boats are the heavy and lower the weight at the front. Typically tongue weight is 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. But on a boat trailer it can be less. Also, if you have cargo loaded behind the rear axle of your Infiniti QX56 that can make the tongue weight...

- Will the Reese Pole Tongue Adapter Work on my Load Rite Elite TrailerYes the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems part # RP58393 can be used on your Load Rite Elite trailers tongue. This allows you to connect the weight distribution and sway control systems. I really like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control Systems like part # EQ37061ET. To determine which weight distribution you need the tongue weight is the most important measurement. I have linked an article explaining how to get an accurate reading of this...
view full answer... - Best Way to Control Trailer Sway on 6,000 lb Boat TrailerThe best thing you can do to control trailer sway is absolutely use a weight distribution hitch with sway control. This is by far the best option to safely improve significant trailer sway and can even be done on boat trailers with straight tongues (though not swing-away tongues), which is what I'm guessing you have. In order to choose the best weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for Boat Trailer With Pole Tongue AdapterFor your Malibu Wakesetter 23LSV, based on the weights you gave me, I recommend the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66560, which will account for any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your 2001 Toyota Sequoia as well. This system will help distribute the weight of your trailer for a smoother ride and will also give you sway control with the friction pads made of brake pad material and the spring trunnion bars. You will need a pole tongue adapter for...
view full answer... - Availability of Pole Tongue Adapter to Install Weight Distribution on Boat TrailerPole tongue-style trailers can use a pole tongue adapter like # RP58393 or # EQ95-01-5950 to allow installation of a weight distribution/sway control system. These adapters bolt on to the straight frame member to provide a substitute mounting point for the WD system's lift brackets. These adapters mount 29 to 30-inches back from the hitch ball. Note these carry different tongue weight ratings so be sure to select one based on your trailer's weight (TW). Selection of a WD system should...
view full answer... - Recommended Spare Tire Carrier and Trailer Box for Small Aluminum TrailerFor your 2000 lb Silverwing trailer, I recommend the following accessories: For your spare tire carrier, I recommend the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier - Fits 4- and 5-Lug Wheels # FSTC1000301. For your trailer dolly, I recommend the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly # RA20. You will need to trade out the hitch ball for # 63845 to match your coupler. For your toolbox, most pole tongue trailers would need to keep the box on the bed of the trailer. There are not tool boxes for trailers like...
view full answer... - Do I Need To Drill The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 When Installing a Weight and Sway Hitch? The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 should not be drilled into for mounting a weight distribution hitch. The mounting brackets for a Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System # RP66559 would need to be mounted to the brackets the same way as on a trailer frame by bolting around the brackets. We do have the Pole-Tongue Adapter for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ95-01-5950 which uses a thicker mounting plate for the brackets. This is designed to more easily mount their Weight...
view full answer... - Recommendations for Weight Distribution on a Boat Trailer with Surge BrakesWhat a cool looking boat!! I have a solution for you, but the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control is not recommended for use with surge brakes. Instead, for a similar rated system that would be compatible you would want the Reese SC Weight Distribution system part # RP66560. This system has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,200 lbs. It utilizes fully sliding trunnion bars which can move forward when you need the brakes applied through the surge coupler then return to...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution With Sway Control on a 2013 Dodge Ram PickupAny weight distribution system you add to your 2013 Dodge Ram pickup will hinder your maneuverability when backing up your trailer into tight spots. You can make slight turns in reverse with a weight distribution system, but not sharp ones. Since you have a pole tongue, you will need a pole tongue adapter # RP58393. This Reese pole adapter will provide an attachment point for the spring bars by mounting a weight-distribution system the trailer. I recommend the Reese Steadi-Flex weight...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation for a Boat Trailer with 800 lbs Tongue Weight and Surge BrakesWhen picking out a weight distribution system the most important factor to consider is the loaded tongue weight which includes the the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle. Since your trailer has surge brakes you cannot use a weight distribution system with friction sway control or dual-cam sway control. Because of that I would recommend you go with a Reese Steadi-Flex weight distribution system # RP66560 rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds tongue weight. You will also likely need a pole...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution for a 10,500 Pound Tri-Axle Boat Trailer and Boat for a 2011 Ford F-150Based on the weight of the boat and trailer you mentioned, the gross trailer weight will be around 10,500 pounds. Typically on a boat trailer the tongue weight is less than on a utility trailer or travel trailer. At most you are probably looking at 10 percent or 1,050 pounds. But you will want to be sure. I have included a link to a help article explaining how you can determine the tongue weight of the trailer. You also have to add to the trailer tongue weight the weight of anything loaded...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution For 8800lb Boat and TrailerThe Reese Steadi-Flex weight distribution system you referenced, part # RP66560 is rated for trailers with tongue weights ranging from 600-1200 lbs. If the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer (plus the weight of anything stowed in the truck bed behind the rear axle) falls within that range, the # RP66560 would work well for you. You'll also need a pole tongue adapter, part # RP58393. As far as the towing capacity of the truck goes, you'd need to subtract the GVW...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for 7,800 Pound Tritoon Boat TrailerIt sounds like you have things pretty well figured out. The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems # RP58393 is the perfect solution for adding weight distribution to a pole-tongue trailer like yours. It won't matter if you mount it on top or below the trailer tongue, it can handle your 7,800 lb trailer. The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66559 is also compatible with this adapter. This weight distribution system is a great choice and...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System Eagle 30 Foot Boat Trailer w/ Surge BrakesA hydraulic brake coupler works by compressing when the tow vehicle applies its brakes. The inertia of the trailer makes the coupler compress, which actuates the brakes. Chain suspended weight distribution systems can prevent the coupler from compressing properly, which reduces the effectiveness of the trailer brakes. Reese offer a system that would work perfectly on your boat trailer. The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution system, part # RP66559 is designed for trailers with tongue...
