Best Weight Distribution System for a Keystone Outback 31
Question:
I have 2016 Yukon Denali and a Keystone Outback 31 ft travel trailer 7500 lbs... we currently have a back weight distribution hitch but sway gets unbearable at about 55 mph. Prior to this vehicle, we had a 2011 Suburban 2500 and didn’t seem to have the same problem. The trailer sits about 1” lower in the front when sitting on hitch and Auto Leveling is complete. Anyhow, what hitch / sway control would do the best for us?

The best weight distribution system we carry is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System. This system has four point sway control which unlike most other systems will both prevent and reduce trailer sway. Most other systems only work to reduce trailer sway as it occurs but do little to prevent it from happening entirely.
In order to choose the correct Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System you will need to know your total tongue weight (TTW). The total tongue weight is calculated by adding the loaded ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer by any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Once you have determined your total tongue weight you can use one of the following systems.
0-400 lbs: part # EQ37040ET
200-600 lbs: part # EQ37060ET
600-1,000 lbs: part # EQ37100ET
800-1,200 lbs: part # EQ37120ET
1,000-1,400 lbs: part # EQ37140ET
You will want your total tongue weight to fall in the middle of the weight distributions weight capacity range. These systems come with everything you need to hit the road. I have attached a review/install video for you as well.
