Recommended Cost Effective Weight Distribution System for 4K Trailer
Question:
Hi, Im looking to potentially invest in a weight distribution hitch appose to a classic hitch ball mount system. Im new to these devices and would appreciate insight. I have a 2021 Toyota Tacoma SX appox GVW 5,600 lbs. with a tow capacity of approx 6,500 lbs. Im towing a 19ft. 3,700lbs + Tongue weight which in not certain of but I assume a couple hundred lbs. I was looking for a recommended unit based on these specs. A budget buy would be best and I can provide some additional info if need be. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from one of the your trained professionals as soon as possible.

The best bang for your buck weight distribution system on the market is the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System. The correct system for an estimated 4,000 lb trailer is part # FA94-00-0600 but you will also need the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90. This system has both weight distributing properties as well as sway control which is really needed for these smaller trailers.
I'm sure you have saw some of the more cost effective systems but these usually don't have sway control and use chain style hangers which can be a hassle. Most who use these systems to start out for their cost soon upgrade to an option like the above.
