Hitch and Weight Distribution Recommendation for 1998 Isuzu Amigo  

Question:

I own a 1998 Isuzu Amigo 6 cyl. 4x5 5 spd manual hard top. Also, 2002 Coleman Fairlake pop-up camper trailer. I need to pull my trailer from Colorado to California next month. According to manufacturers manual the cars TW 450, GAWR ?, GVWR 8950. Trailer weights TW 400, GAWR 3050, GVWR 3450. Additional load estimated at 300#. According to the manual I should be able to haul my trailer at slow speeds responsibly with the appropriate weight distributing hitch and equipment. Please advise the proper equipment. Thank you for your time and effort.

For your 1998 Isuzu Amigo you'll first need a trailer hitch that is rated for weight distribution. For that the Curt part # C13235 is a great choice. Then you can use a weight distribution system like the Blue Ox kit part # BLU45FR which has a tongue weight range of up to 550 lbs.

For a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the Hopkins kit part # HM43215.
