- How to Choose Weight Distribution For 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee
- Yes, you can use a weight distribution hitch on your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee so long as your Jeep's hitch is rated for weight distribution; for example if you had the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13182 you could use it.
To find the right weight distribution hitch you need to know the total tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer, which you can find using a tongue weight scale like # e99044.
You'd use that to find the right weight distribution hitch, and your trailer's total tongue...

- Hey Rodney, appreciate the photo, it was really helpful, and we have exactly what you need here, which is the Chain Hangers # RP58305.
Weight distribution hitches that use brackets aren't going to work due to the placement of your propane tank, which is why the hangers are needed. These will bolt onto your trailer frame so the brackets for your propane tank won't interfere. The weight distribution system with sway control that you'll need to go along with it is the Strait-Line Weight...

I have added a link below to our entire selection of shanks which you can filter through by rise/drop.

- While the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW1000 is going to be one of our lightest systems at 91lbs I don't think this is really what you are going to want to use. The Curt TruTrack 2P Trailer Mounted Weight Distribution System # C67ZV is going to be easier for you to put on and take off. The hitch head is separate from the drop shank which means while the overall system is heavier at 124lbs the separate parts will make it easier for you to put on and take off. The Curt is rated...

view full answer... - Which Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution for Travel Trailer that Weighs 750-850 lbs
- Hey Chris, so the trick to pick out a weight distribution system is to go with the one that has the range that matches the tongue weight of the trailer. If you go with a system that is rated too high it gives you a much harsher ride quality.
So since your tongue weight range is 750-850 lbs the part # C17500 is the correct kit of the two you mentioned.

- Hey Larry, thanks for providing all that info. It sounds like you are on the right track here, because the Curt TruTrack 4P Trailer Mounted Weight Distribution System # C74RV is a great choice. This system is designed for trailers with a tongue weight between about 700 and 1,000 lbs. It stands to reason that your trailer will be within this range at all times, loaded or unloaded.

- Hey David,
Yes, the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 would be a compatible match with the Ball Mount Adapter for Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Weight Distribution Shank # BA-1. If you need the hitch ball as well for the sway-control bracket then you can use part # RP58060 for the ball and part # 37201001 for the pin. This bracket is 3/8" thick so you'll want to check if the shank of the hitch ball is long enough to accommodate the increased thickness.

Both of these kits do include the pins and clips but if you wanted to purchase extra or whatever you can use # C17513.

- So I am going to start by warning you the owners manual for your 2020 Kia Niro Plug in Hybrid is very confusing as they don't specifically state any towing capacities but place a lot of emphasis on working with the parts manufacturer for towing capability. I would start by talking to your local dealer to also help with the input of what you are going to be able to tow.

- The Torklift Hitch Extension part # TLE1636 that you referenced can tow a trailer that weighs 6,700 lbs like you what you have but you would need to use a weight distribution system with it to have the needed capacity as without a WD system it's towing capacity is 3,600 lbs. When used with a WD system the towing capacity instead is 7,200 lbs.
So what I would recommend in addition to this Vincent is the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and...
