Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch For 2018 Forest River 180RT Toy Hauler

Question:

My 2012 V6 Highlander w/ tow package, 500lb tongue weight and 5K gross weight capable sags a lot towing my 2018 Forest River 180rt toy hauler. Will your item #FA94-00-1035 fix my problem? And does that include everything Ill need - like does it come with the ball receiver or anything?

We do have the exact Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch that will work for your 2018 Forest River 180RT toy hauler, though it's a different part than the one you mentioned. What you will want instead is the following:

- Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0800

This system will absolutely fix the sag you are experiencing as well as offer superb control over sway to give you a more controlled, and safer ride. The reason you want this system as opposed to the one you mentioned is that the # FA94-00-0800 is for total tongue weights ranging from 400 lbs to 800 lbs, which is the proper rating for your Forest River 180 RT that has a 4,830 lb GVWR.

The part you mentioned is rated too highly for your toy hauler so you would get a very stiff and uncomfortable ride. The Fastway # FA94-00-0800 does indeed come with everything you need for the install, with the exception of the hitch ball, with the correct one being the following:

- 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6100
