What Weight Distribution System is Needed for a 2013 Toyota Sienna and Rpod Trailer
Question:
Would this be the best choice for towing an Rpod trailer at 3100#s dry behind a 2013 Toyota Sienna awd? The current hitch has a pretty sizable rise at 6 1/4inch from top of receiver to where ball fits shank. Additionally is everything included except the ball in this kit? Thanks, Topher.

To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I have linked a help article that will explain how to find the total tongue weight of your towing rig.
A system like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System, # FA94-00-0600, would work well if your total tongue falls in between the tongue weight range of 400-600 lbs.
If your tongue weight is higher or lower than this range, then check the attached link to our weight distribution product page to help locate the correct system for your application.
