Your trailer hitch receiver may or may not be rated for weight distribution. If you let me know your model year I can help with specifics. If your trailer hitch receiver is rated for weight distribution, normally the tongue weight is increased and you'd need to fall within those parameters. There should be a part number or even a specific tongue weight listed on your trailer hitch for use with weight distribution. If you just find the part number plug it into a search and see if you... view full answer...

So long as the trailer hitch on your tow vehicle - in your case the Cayenne - is rated for weight distribution the tow vehicle won't matter for the weight distribution hitch. In order to choose the best weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight, which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer.
The tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's GVWR but you'll want to verify it by using a scale such as # e99044.... view full answer...

A weight distribution system is generally used when the rear of a vehicle is sagging due to the added tongue weight of a trailer. The springs bars attached to both the hitch and trailer will evenly distribute the tongue weight of the trailer across both axles on the tow vehicle which results in reduced vehicle sag and increased braking power. A weight distribution system can also help immensely with trailer sway.
Therefore, if your vehicle is not sagging while the trailer is attached... view full answer...

There are three reasons as to why a hitch ball with a built-in scale like the Weigh Safe 2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/ Built-In Scale part # WSUN-3 will not work in the head of a weight distribution system like the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control part # RP66084.

I'll start this out by saying that weight distribution hitches like the Curt Weight Distribution System # C17341 are not vehicle specific; as long as you've got a 2" hitch receiver like the Curt # C14006, or the factory hitch, this weight distribution system will fit in the 2" receiver you've got.

Like you said the use of a weight distribution system depends on the vehicle specifications. I checked with Tesla and they do not recommend the use of one due to the unibody construction. Weight distribution systems transfer a portion of the weight of the trailer to the vehicle. A bumpy road will transfer a lot of stress into the unibody of the Model X. The reason that's considered detrimental is that the entire body will bend and twist repeatedly, and could eventually fail.

That's a good question, and the short answer is yes, you can use a weight distribution hitch with the Curt hitch that fits your 2021 Subaru Ascent:
