Weight Distribution System for Trailer with Tongue Weight 1,800 lbs
Question:
Looking for recommendation. I have a Ford 250 Super Duty, pulling a travel trailer that has GVWR of 11,000. I measured the tongue weight and was surprised to learn it was 2,000 lbs. This was with full waste tanks, but believe I am towing at around 1800 lbs. Which weight distribution hitch do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
That's quite a bit of tongue weight but we do have a weight distribution system that is rated for that. The Blue Ox Swaypro part # BXW2000 is rated for up to 2,000 lbs tongue weight and would be a great option as long as you stay under 2,000 lbs.
For a ball you would want the part # 63840.
