Expert Reply:

Using the hitch extender will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer by 50 percent. But if you have a 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver and use the Titan hitch extension # RP45292 the tongue weight capacity will not be reduced.

If you do not have a 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch you might be able to add one but I need to know your vehicle make, model and year.

Please note, when using a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I have included some FAQ articles about weight distribution and tongue weight for you to check out.
