Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution for a 2015 Ram 2500 and 2016 Cruiser View Finder Signature
Question:
I have a 2015 Ram 2500 and towing a 2016 Cruiser RV View Finder Signature 29 foot. Published hitch weight is 900 plus, Would like advice on correct Blue Ox Sway Pro system. Is the BXW1000 enough? Is the BXW1500 too much? What about ?

Expert Reply:
To choose 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.
The 1,000 pound Blue Ox SwayPro system will likely be too light for your trailer. I would go with the next step up, the 1,500 pound system, # BXW1500. For a 2-5/16 inch ball use # 19286.
