Weight Distribution Recommendation for Starcraft Satellite Trailer 255 lb Tongue Weight

Question:

I have a 2016 Nissan Frontier crew cab, SV 4x4 that I am pulling a Starcraft Satellite trailer with. Hitch weight is 255lbs, with GVWR of 3790. I am looking to purchase a weight distribution sway control hitch with 2 inch ball. What do you suggest would be a good choice.

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.

For a tongue weight of 255 lbs the best setup we offer is the part # RP66082 which has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs and features the only sway control on the market that works to fight sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you then would want the part # A-90.
