Recommended Curt Weight Distribution System for a 2015 Keystone Hideout 260LHS

Question

Question:

Hi, I am looking to purchase a distribution hitch for my 2015 Tahoe . I will be towing a 2015 Keystone Hideout 260LHS. It is 5800lbs dry and 7200lbs loaded. Trailer Tongue weight is 650lbs. I found many hitches but wanted to know if it would work with my Tahoe. Like clearance wise, or which will be the best fit. I would like sway control. I saw you had a CURT C17341 on sale and maybe I could add the sway control. Thanks

The Curt Weight Distribution System I recommend for a 2015 Keystone Hideout 260LHS is the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17499. The TruTrack has integrated sway control which will do a much better job than systems with add-on sway control such as the Curt Weight Distribution System part # C17341 with the Curt Friction Sway Control part # 17200. Furthermore this option does not require drilling into the trailer frame, it offers easiest setup, and does not restrict the reverse angle nearly as much.

In regards to warranty, it's 1-year vs 10-year (TruTack). The only other thing you will need is a hitch ball, part # A-90 or part # C40008. There won't be any issues using either system on a Chevy Tahoe.

Most of the 2-5/16 inch hitch balls will use either a 1-inch diameter shank or 1-1/4 inch diameter shank. The nut size on a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank, like the Tow Ready 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball, part #19286, will use a 1-7/8 inch socket. A…
