Will The Reese Weight Distribution, # 66557, Fit On 2004 Nissan Xterra Towing A 2,620 Lbs. Trailer
Question:
Im looking at the Reese 66557 for the following: I have a Chalet LTW, hard sided folding trailer. Gross trailer weight is 2620 lbs. The typical load for me when I go camping is 1870 lbs witha a tongue weight of 315 lbs. Im towing with a 2004 Nissan Xterra. The rear of the Xterra s about 2 inches and Im thinking that it will help raise the rear of the vehicle. I believe there is enough room between the two batteries and the two propane tanks for the lift unit assemby. Is the Reese 66557 a good choice or should I be looking at something different?

To know if the Reese Weight Distribution, # 66557, will fit on your Chalet LTW trailer you will need to measure from the center of your coupler ball back along the A-frame of the trailer. You will need to have clearance of 25 inches to 32 inches for the brackets to attach to the A-frame of the trailer.
The Reese weight distribution system is designed for 4,000 lbs. gross towing weight and 400 lbs. tongue weight, so it will work fine on your 2,620 lbs. trailer and a tongue weight of 315 lbs.
It will help raise the rear of your 2004 Nissan Xterra and distribute the extra weight from the rear axle of your Nissan Xterra to the front wheels and the trailer wheels.
