Are CURT Trailer Hitches Compatible with Pro Series Weight Distribution Systems
Question:
will a Curt C13068 hitch work with pro series WD work ok together on a Honda Odessey 2010
asked by: Doug
Expert Reply:
A CURT Trailer Hitch, like # C13068, is compatible with weight distribution systems made by Reese. On any hitch, you would check the installation instructions to determine if the hitch is rated for use with weight distribution. You will also want to check the vehicle owners manual to determine if the vehicle manufacturer allows the use of weight distribution.
To determine the correct weight distribution system for you, you will want a system that has a tongue weigh capacity range that encompasses the tongue weight of the trailer, loaded and ready to tow, and the weight of the cargo loaded in the vehicle behind the rear axle.
If that combined weight is 200 to 600 pounds, then the Reese , # RP65509, will work. If you are close to the max of 600 pounds or higher, I recommend going up to the next highest rated system, like # RP67509, rated for 400 to 800 pounds.
