Can the Fastway e2 # FA94-00-1061 be Used for a Loaded Trailer Tongue Weight of 700 lbs
Question:
My loaded tongue weight, with payload, is just over 700lbs. I plan to upgrade to a bigger trailer next year. My question is, the specs show “Specs: Tongue weight: 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs Gross towing weight: 10,000 lbs” for this WD hitch. Will this work with 700lbs ok?

Expert Reply:
If your loaded tongue weight plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle is within the 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs tongue weight range of the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA94-00-1061 then yes, it is right where you need it to be.
Just be mindful that if you will be upgrading to a trailer that is quite a bit bigger then you may be better off going with the trunnion bar system # FA92-00-1000 instead. This will allow you to simply swap out the bars with part # FA92-02-1299. This will give you the system # FA92-00-1200 which has a tongue weight range of 800 lbs - 1,200 lbs.
