Maximum Tongue Weight For The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Item # FA94-00-1033
Question:
The description of this item is a little confusing to me. I own a Lance 1685 that I tow with a 2017 F150, and in my last trip I measured 750 lbs of tongue weight full fresh water and 2 full propane tanks. I have the E2 WDH, and WDH bar says 800 lbsinch on it, so I was concerned it could not be enough if I wanted to carry something heavier behind the rear axle of my truck. The description of the product on the page, however, has 700 lbs 800 lbs 900 lbs. Does it mean it comes with 3 different sets of bars, one for each weight? The other confusing thing is that in the pros and cons of this model, it says to use this if the tongue weight is between 600 - 1,000 lbs. Question: do I need to worry about getting a different WDH with the configuration I described, or is my setup sufficient? Taking it to the extreme, if I want to take it to 1,000 lbs of tongue weight 750lbs + weight behind the rear axle, would I be able to do it with my setup? If not, can I just upgrade the bar, or do I need to get a totally new full assembly?

The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Item # FA94-00-1033 only comes with one set of bars. If your bars say 800lbs then I would go by the bars. If you plan on carrying more than the 800lbs on your 2017 F-150 you can always add higher rated spring bars like Item # FA94-02-1099 which have a 1000lb tongue capacity. Keep in mind the F-150 max towing capacity is under 12000lbs so you want to make sure you do not exceed the truck maximum towing capacity and payload.
