Recommended Weight Distribution System for Trailer with 450 Pound Tongue Weight
Question:
Do you have a weight distribution hitch with sway for 450lb. tongue weight
asked by: Shawna
Expert Reply:
If the loaded tongue weight of your trailer is 450 pounds, I recommend looking at the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37060ET. This system has a tongue weight capacity of 200 to 600 pounds, so it will be perfect. Just keep in mind that the total tongue weight of your setup will include both the loaded tongue weight of your trailer, as if it is ready to head out on a trip, along with any added cargo weight coming from behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle.
I recommend using a tongue weight scale like the etrailer # e99044 to verify your trailer's loaded tongue weight.
The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System will evenly distribute weight over the axles of your tow vehicle and trailer for added stability and control. It features integrated 4-Point Sway Control that will limit side-to-side movement and minimize sway caused by winds or curvy roads. Both the adjustable shank and 2 inch chrome hitch ball are included.
I have attached a video demonstration on this system as well as an article on weight distribution systems that you may find helpful.
