Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2009 Cadillac Escalade Towing 1,200 lb Tongue Weight
Question:
I have a 2009 cadilac escalade. I pull a horse trailer that currently weighs 7000 pounds however thats only with 2 horses if i put 4 in weight should be around 10,000. young weight is 12,00. I need bolt on brackets as the a-frame is covered on top. I like the blue ox but it looks like it is only clamp on. Can I get this with bolt on brackets?

All of the Blue Ox frame brackets are ones that clamp on but I do have a great solution.
Reese makes bolt on frame brackets like the part # RP58305 which could be used with their system part # RP66131 which has a tongue weight range of 800 to 1,500 lbs which would be perfect. You'd need a shank part # RP54970 which will work great and then a hitch ball part # 63836.
