Weight Distribution for a 2015 Ford F-150 and 6,000 Pound Travel Trailer
Question:
Curt TruTrack WD system 10000#/1000# tw Code: C17500 Would this hitch be a good choice for a 2015 F150 pulling a 2015 Fun Finder 214WSD travel trailer? Est 6000+ fully loaded, 25inch long. OR would you recommend something else? Thanks!

Helpful 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.
For a 6,000 pound gross weight trailer the tongue weight would be around 600 to 900 pounds (10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight). The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 is rated for 1,000 pounds tongue weight. So as long as you are under 1,000 pounds tongue weight this will be an excellent system for you.
I have included a link to a video review of this system and some helpful links on weight distribution.
