Hitch ion for toyhauler that weighs 12800 lb when fully loaded. Has tongue weight of 1380 lb. Will a 14000 lb weight distribution hitch, 1400 lb tongue, with sway control be sufficient?

Expert Reply:
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
For a similar Curt weight distribution system that would work well for your tongue weight you'd want the Curt TruTrack kit part # C17501 which has a tongue weight range of 1,000 to 1,500 lbs.
