Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Towing Trailer w 545 lb Tongue Weight  

Question:

Hi Jameson, I appreciate your help, but I may need to find a more cheaper option. With my set up is the following product better or worse? Also, do I have to disconnect the sway control before I back the trailer up? Pro Series Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control - Round - 10,000 lbs GTW, 550 lbs TW Item # PS49901

For your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe with a hitch rated for weight distribution like the Curt part # C13153 or # C13152 that it sounds like you have based on the capacities you listed, and for your trailer that has an unloaded tongue weight of 545 lbs the Strait Line System part # RP66083 would be a perfect solution. It has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs which would work well plus it has the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

My other question before I spend a lot of money is: My vehicle max hitch weight is 500 lbs. With my trailer on the hitch it darn near put the car on its axles. Would this weight reducing hitch bring my vehicle back to its position that it was without the weight on it?

The weight distribution system will take and distribute a good portion of your trailer's tongue weight to the front axle. It won't sit exactly as it does without a trailer but it will sit level again.
