Expert Answers about Kia Weight Distribution Hitch


  • Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation For a 2002 Thor Tahoe Toy Hauler
  • Hello Laura, you came to the right place, and I can definitely point you in the right direction. When selecting a weight distribution hitch, the main factor to consider is the loaded tongue weight of the trailer. Each weight distribution hitch will have specified tongue weight range, and we want to be sure your trailer will be within that range. That way you will get good effective weight distribution and sway control. Can you tell me the sub model of your 2002 Thor Tahoe? That or tell...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A 2007 Toyota Tundra Toying A Car Hauler Trailer
  • The Timbren's you have on your Tundra wouldn't interfere with a weight distribution hitch so they would be worth keeping on and using both to help support your suspension. To find the right weight distribution hitch for your setup we'll need to know the fully loaded tongue weight of the trailer. Each weight distribution hitch is going to have a tongue weight range and it's best to be around the middle of that range so that you have some room to work with. The Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution...

  • 2" Hitch Extender For Use With Weight Distribution to Help Tailgate Open
  • Hey Gary, thanks for the question and the best option for a 2" hitch extension for use with weight distribution is one from Brophy: - 7" Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HE06 The # HE06 is rated for up to 7,000 lbs towing/700 lbs tongue weight when used with weight distribution, but please note that it will limit your hitch capacity by 50%, so you do have to go by whichever is the lowest total. For example, if your hitch was rated for 8,000 lbs towing/800 lbs tongue weight,...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For Flagstaff Trailer With 3,300 lb GVWR
  • Hey Jonathan, really appreciate all that info, and we can definitely get your Flagstaff 823D set up with a weight distribution hitch. Since your GVWR is just over 3,300 lbs your loaded tongue weight will be in the 400 lb to 450 lb range, and for that I highly recommend a hitch from Fastway: - Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0600 The # FA94-00-0600 is rated for loaded tongue weights between 400 lbs and 600 lbs which is perfect for your Flagstaff.

  • Looking For Weight Distribution Setup For A 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD
  • Hello Kenneth, I can definitely help set you up. When selecting a weight distribution hitch, the main factor to consider is the weight of the trailer. More specifically the total loaded tongue weight of the trailer. Knowing this will allow us to select a WD hitch with an appropriate weight capacity. A very popular option, and my personal favorite weight distribution hitch is the Blue Ox SwayPro. The # BXW0750 is made for trailers with a tongue weight between 550 and 750 lbs. The SwayPro...

  • How to Determine Tongue Weight for Motorhome Towing Trailer
  • Tongue weight is going to be the loaded tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo stored behind your rear axle. You don't want to get caught up in changes to the weight on your axles with the trailer attached. Once you find this you will be able to select the correct weight distribution hitch. Also, you need to make sure that the hitch on your motorhome is rated for use with a weight distribution system. For a quality WDH that is widely considered the best I recommend...

  • Should A Weight Distribution Hitch Be Used Towing a Jayco Hummingbird Behind a Jeep Wrangler?
  • I do recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600 to pull your 2018 Jayco Hummingbird 16FD behind your 2021 Jeep Wrangler. The weight distribution will make your drive much safer as you will be able to eliminate the rear end sag. It also has sway control built in to help keep the trailer tracking straight down the road. You will also need a 2" Hitch Ball # A-90 to match your coupler.

  • Do Adjustments Need to be Made With Weight Distribution on 2019 Ram 1500 w/ Timbrens
  • Hi Jeremy; that's a good question and you'll actually need to go ahead and re-do the set up of your weight distribution system after adding the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DS to your 2019 Ram 1500. So it wouldn't just be making adjustments because your truck will be more level with the Timbrens. It will be worth it though since adding Timbrens will help ensure you are level to improve your Ram's handling.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For a 5,500LB Travel Trailer With 492LBS Tongue Weight
  • I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 for your 5,500lb travel trailer with 492lbs of tongue weight. This hitch is rated for trailers weighing up to 8,000lbs with between 400-800lbs of tongue weight. I prefer this hitch as it meets the weight specifications for your travel trailer and uses trunnion bars so they do not have the weak point like you get with round bars that come bent. I have seen the round bar style systems fall out while driving since they are held...

  • Weight Distribution For 6,000 lb Trailer With Short A-Frame
  • So what you'll have to do is use the Chain Hangers # C17005 and bolt them onto your trailer frame. I will also say it's very important you contact the trailer manufacturer to see if the trailer is rated for use with weight distribution because not all aluminum trailers are. Then for a 6,000 lb trailer you would use the Curt MV Weight Distribution # C17051 and instead of using the brackets it comes with you'll use the chain hangers. The only other thing you'll need is the hitch ball, either...

  • Hey Jordan, Yes, you can 100 percent use an anti-rattle clamp with an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch and they will do a very nice job of keeping the shank of your hitch steady. The best option and highest quality is from Roadmaster, with the correct one depending on the size of your hitch receiver: - 2" Trailer Hitch: Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 - 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch: Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-062

  • Is a Weight Distribution Hitch System Required When Towing a Airstream Trailer Weighing 4,300LBS?
  • A weight distribution hitch is not required for towing any trailer but they do make it safer. I personally have never liked the round bar style hitches like Husky makes and always recommend units like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0800 since it uses a straight bar. These do not hang down a low as the round bar systems so they will not drag going over speed bumps or when you hit pot holes. As long as you are staying within your towing capabilities and your Tacoma is not overly sagging from...

  • Can Reese Friction Sway Be Added To a Weight Distribution Hitch Pulling a 7,000LB Travel trailer?
  • You may be able to use one or two of the Reese Friction Sway Control Kits # 83660 depending on the weight distribution system you are using. If you can tell me what hitch you already have I can help you determine if you can add this. As it sounds like you are looking for the best sway protection you can get pulling your 7,000lb travel trailer you will want to check out the ProPride 3P Weight Distribution Hitch # PR97QR. This ProPride is the newest generation of the Hensley hitch which...

  • Can The Curt High-Low Adapter C27KR Be Safely Used For Towing A Trailer?
  • We should have a potential solution for you, but to answer your question, no, you cannot safely use the Curt High-Low Adapter # C27KR for this purpose. The Curt adapter is to be used for flat towing only and cannot be used for towing a trailer, regardless of weight. Are you trying to raise/lower the height of a weight distribution hitch? Generally this is done by using a shank with the appropriate amount of rise or drop such as the Curt Welded Weight Distribution Shank # C17123. I am...

  • Thoughts On Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch For a 2,300LB Travel Trailer
  • I am going to recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600 for towing your 2,300lb travel trailer. This is a reliable system that has stood the test of time and works with trailers up to 6,000lbs with 250-600lbs of tongue weight. The Andersen makes some interesting claims with their system being revolutionary and eliminating sway but I have personally replaced their systems with ones like the Fastway above because they experienced sway. The Fastway has an actual sway...
