Recommended Weight Distribution System for Grand Design Transcend Xplor 247BH
Question:
I have a 2002 ford f250 xlt 2 wheel drive crew cab diesel with 6ft bed. I purchased a 2021 grand design transcend xplor 247bh travel trailer. It says that the gvwr is 6995lb and the hitch weight is 546lb. Im not sure what it will actually weigh loaded but Im wondering if the husky centerline ts 800lb to 1200lb tongue weight hitch is overkill or will it be ok?

Expert Reply:
The Grand Design Transcend Xplor 247BH has a gross vehicle weight rating of about 7,000 lbs so the most the tongue could ever weight is between 10-15% of this which is 700 lbs - 1,050 lbs. Therefore, I'd shoot for a system in the middle of this range. The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17500 is my recommendation. It comes with a pre-torque hitch ball as well so it's ready to use right out of the box.
