Weight Distribution Recommendation for Palomini 180FB  

Question:

For a 2015 Nissan Frontier SV towing a Palomini 180FB HW 443 GW 3900? Weve been towing with a ball only but were getting sag when loaded. Its our first towing experience and no one has told us we needed a weight distribution hitch ... Yet.

Expert Reply:

If the trailer you are towing weighs more than half of the weight of the tow vehicle we recommend the use of weight distribution.

The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup. You should note that the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your vehicle should be considered tongue weight as well. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out.

Since your trailer has around 450 lbs of dry tongue weight a weight distribution system that would work great for the estimated tongue weight range would be the part # RP66083 as it has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
