Yes, there are no backing up restrictions with Curt Weight Distribution System # C17333. The only other part needed with this system is a ball. Use # 63840 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.

I also recommend etrailer Tongue Weight Scale for Campers and Utility Trailers - 2,000-lb Capacity # e99044 to ensure that you know your tongue weight each time you load.
