Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2015 Forest River Wildwood 195BH Xtra Lite
Question:
I have a 2006 Ford Explorer V6 2WD Eddie Bauer towing a 2015 Forest River Wildwood 195BH Xtra lite. Max we would tow is 3500lbs. Tongue weight of 450. Is the RP66558 the optimal weight distribution and sway setup for our situation? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
The # RP66558 has a tongue weight range of 400-600 lbs so if your tongue weight is really 450 lbs it would be good.
