Best Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe

Question:

I have a 17 Hyundai Santa Fe with factory tour hitch and writing. Tow limits are 5000 lbs with 500 lb tongue weight. Im looking at purchasing a Trailmanor hardsided pop-up camper: dry weight is 3000 lbs with a tongue weight of 454 lbs. Would you recommend a standard hitch or a weight distribution?

If the factory hitch of your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is rated for use with a weight distribution system I would recommend you use one since you are so close to the capacity of the vehicle. You'd most likely have a decent amount of sag without one.

The best weight distribution system for a tongue weight of 454 lbs is going to be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66082 which has a tongue weight range of 200 to 600 lbs and features only sway control that works 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.
