Recommended 4-Point Sway Control System for a Trailer with Near 500 Lb Hitch Weight
Question:
Hello I have two vehicles that we are trying to purchase one 4pt weight dist. and sway control for. A 2009 GMC Acadia and a 2015 Nissan pathfinder. I am having problems finding their tongue weights. We are hauling a travel trailer with specs of: Hitch Weight: 465 lb., UVW 3219 lb., CCC 1646 lb. What 4 point weight distribution and sway control system would you recommend?
asked by: Carrie B
Expert Reply:
The choice of a weight distribution system will take into account the loaded ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer and the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. The best four point weight distribution system we have available for you based on the figures you provided is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution with Sway Control part # RP66073.
The Strait-Line has a unique set of sway-control cams that dramatically improve the stability of your trailer while at highway speed. This system also comes with a lifetime warranty. The only other thing you will need for this is a hitch ball, part # A-90 or part # 19286.
