Recommended Weight Distribution With Sway Control for 6,000 lb GVWR Travel Trailer
Question:
Hi, I am purchasing a Winnebago Micro Minnie 2306bhs travel trailer. I am needing a weight distribution hitch with sway control. Dry weight is 4500 with tongue weight of about 500. Max trailer weight is 6000 and I estimate the tongue weight once fully loaded to be 600-750. The tow vehicle will be a 2020 F150. What hitch would you recommend? I am looking at the Blue ox and fast way. Thanks

We can get you set up with a weight distribution hitch for your Micro Minnie 2306BHS with a 6,000 lb GVWR, and for a travel trailer with this weight, I highly recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0800.
I really like the Fastway for a number of reasons, starting with its superior sway control, which is created by friction at two points on the brackets and is going to give you a much more controlled (and safe) ride than other options. The e2 is also really easy to set up, especially compared to systems that use chains, saving you a lot of of time.
The Fastway is also easily the best value among weight distribution hitches, with a unique combination of relative cost-effectiveness and high quality. As you can see by the hundreds of reviews on the product page of the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0800, our customers who have used it have given it a nearly 5-star rating.
It comes with a shank but you will need a hitch ball as well, with the correct one depending on your trailer's coupler:
- 2" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6080
or
- 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6100
