Expert Answers about Ford Weight Distribution Hitch


  • What is the Difference Between The 2 Weight Ratings On The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13126?
  • You are correct the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13126 for your 2019 Infiniti QX60 has 2 different weight ratings. The standard towing capacity(600lbs tongue weight/4,000lbs trailer weight) is for when you are using a basic ball mount like the Curt # C45036. The weight distribution towing capacity(600lbs tongue weight/5,000lbs trailer weight) is for when you use a Weight Distribution Hitch # FA92-00-0600. This type of hitch better distributes the tongue weight of the trailer across your...

  • Easiest Weight Distribution Hitch w/ 2-1/2" Shank to Connect/Disconnect Towing Grand Design Trailer
  • Hi there Ryan; thanks for the question and the easiest weight distribution hitch to connect and disconnect after initial set up is the B&W Continuum, with the right one for your 2-1/2" hitch being the following: - B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control for 2.5" Hitch # BW28FR Reason for that is you don't have to go through the process of pulling a bunch of pins at different spots at the head, arms, and brackets. You will have to pull up a latch release lever at the head...

  • How To Make Installing Your Weight Distribution Hitch Springs Bars Easy
  • Hi David, 765lbs is quite a bit of tongue weight so it's completely normal for the rear end of the truck to sag until you get the weight distribution hitch spring bars in place to help distribute the weight. I typically just couple the trailer up to the truck and lock the coupler and then just the trailer jack to lift the tongue back up to make installing the spring bars safe and easy. You can also install some aftermarket suspension enhancement to help handle the load in conjunction...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Compatible Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Ascent
  • Looks like you're interested in a weight distribution system for your 2023 Subaru Ascent and possibly a hitch compatible with one. I took a look at your owner's manual (page 431) and if you have the factory hitch it isn't rated for one so the only option you have for it is the Curt True Course Advanced Bluetooth Trailer Sway Control - 1 to 4 Axles item # C94VV. The Curt True Course item # C94VV is an electric sway control system that connects to your Subaru's 7-Way and is controlled by...

  • Can a Trailer Still Be Maneuvered Into a Tight Campground With Weight Distribution Hitch Attached?
  • Yes, you will be able to back your trailer into a tight campsite spot with the Curt TruTrack 4P Trailer Mounted Weight Distribution System # C74RV connected. Depending on the position your trailer will end up with the tow vehicle it may be easier to remove the weight distribution bars before to make disconnecting the trailer easier.

  • Does Hitch Ball Angle Need Adjusting For Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution
  • Hi Joe, I assume you are referencing an Equal-i-zer weight distribution since you have shank # EQ90-02-4700. I went ahead and read the owners manual for their systems and there is noting regarding adjusting the angle of the hitch ball. The hitch head will get a different amount of spacer washers depending on the tongue weight, but that is something you have to see during set-up; it will be either 4, 5 (which is most likely), or 6. Then when setting up the ball on the shank, the directions...

  • Yes, you are able to switch to the 2" Ball # A-90 on the Curt TruTrack 2P Trailer Mounted Weight Distribution System # C67ZV. As Curt does not offer the hitch with a 2" ball you will have to change it out yourself or have it done at the shop which installs the hitch for you.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Trailer w/ a 875 lbs Tongue Weight
  • Thanks for all the information! The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System item # C17500 would work great for your set up as it has a 800 lbs - 1,000 lbs tongue weight range. This system also has built in sway control which will keep your trailer in line with your Silverado when going down the highway and you make any sudden moves. I really like the Curt TruTrack item # C17500 because the tilt of the ball is easier to adjust, and because its weight distributing shank has a wide range...

  • Need to Readjust Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch For Trailer When Loaded
  • I have linked the installation instructions for the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE44FR near the bottom of the page. This will show you how to adjust the hitch head height as well as the hitch head angle to ensure you get the best possible ride. With the spring bar coming off the trailers A-frame brackets this tells me the brackets are likely to far back on the frame. The center of these brackets are supposed to be between 24.5" and 27.5" from the ball mount center of your...

  • Can The Reese Dual Cam II WDH Be Installed On A 24' Car Hauler Trailer With An Aluminum Frame
  • Hey Paul, Yes, the Reese Dual Cam II Weight Distribution System w/Active Sway Control # RP75FR can be installed on an aluminum trailer. However, an Isolator shall be used to avoid Galvanic corrosion. Polypropylene tape or a heavy-duty Packaging tape maybe used as an Isolator. You'll also want to reach out to the trailer manufacturer and ensure that the frame is capable of handling the tension from a weight distribution hitch.

  • Can The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 Accommodate A Motorcycle Carrier Weighing 500lbs
  • Hey Scott, Tongue weight is the downward force on the trailer hitch when hauling a trailer or hitch mounted accessory. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 can accommodate up to 900lbs so a 500lb loaded up motorcycle carrier would fall within its capabilities.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 7,000 lbs Trailer
  • The Curt TruTrack 4P Trailer Mounted Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control item # C74RV will work great with your 7,000 lbs trailer so long as it's loaded. You'll feel a pretty stiff ride if you're driving it around empty with the system connected. I looked online and didn't see anything in your 2022 Ford Expedition's owner's manual that limits the use of a weight distribution system either.

  • Recommended Equal-i-zer Hitch For A 2024 Jayco Flight 225MLS And Instruction Manual
  • Hello Ron. I was able to find the instructions for the 12K Equal-i-zer Hitch # EQ37120ET and I have linked those instructions for you below. So, it is a slightly higher rated hitch, but the instructions will be the same. As far as your 2024 Jayco Flight 225MLS, the # EQ90-00-1000 is a great choice. You are correct that you will need to buy a ball separately, and for that I recommend part # EQ91-00-6100 which is a 2-5/16" ball. You will also need a thin walled socket like part # EQ70-00-4800.

  • Tips For Installing WDH Spring Bars And Suspension Enhancement For A 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Hey David, To ease the installation of your spring bars you'll just want to couple up to the trailer, lock the coupler, and then use the tongue jack to lift the trailer back up and take the load off of the truck's suspension. Push it high enough and the spring bars will likely go on by hand, without even having to use the lift tool. The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA28 you were looking at is essentially an extra leaf spring to add to your leaf spring...

  • What Might Cause Sway on Trailer that Has Curt Weight Distribution System
  • Hey Kimberly, sorry to hear about that. First thing to check it to make sure the trailer is sitting as level as possible. If it's nose high or low that could cause sway. Also try to move as much weight forward in the trailer and see if that helps. Other than that check the trailer suspension components like the leaf springs to see if there's an issue there.

  • Parts Needed For Towing a Camper Behind a 2023 Toyota Tacoma Without Towing Package
  • Sorry for the confusion on the details for the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness # 22117 for your 2023 Toyota Tacoma. Since it can be used as a replacement for the OEM tapping into that connector is easier on those vehicles. Since you do not have the connector on your Tacoma you can simply use a Test Light # PTW2993 to find the correct wire on your brake switch which is on the brake pedal mount. Then you will be able to connect a controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195. I personally...

  • Recommended Sway Control System For An Aluminum Frame Trailer
  • Hi Jim, Since you can't use a weight distribution hitch and don't want to drill through the aluminum frame I recommend attaching the Curt True Course Advanced Bluetooth Trailer Sway Control # C94VV to a board and using some U-bolts to clamp the board to the frame. Once mounted you'll just need to plug your trailer's 7-way cable into it and use the True Course 7-way cable to plug into your Range Rover. You will not be able to use any sort of friction sway control without drilling into...

  • Will An Advent Air RV Air Conditioner Work On The Roof Of A 2013 Ford Van
  • Hi Tom, The Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner # ADV79FR requires 110v service, which would require you to run a generator in order to power it. This would likely require you to reinforce the roof to accommodate the weight and you'd have to build the ceiling up to 2-1/2" - 5" thick for the air distribution box # ACDB. This really wouldn't be a viable option, but there are air conditioners designed for vehicle use you could look into. The only thing we could really offer would...
