Blue Ox Weight Distribution With Sway Control For a 4,300LB Vista Cruiser Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

I am looking for the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW to tow a 19 foot Vista Cruiser with gross weight of 4300 with a 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited with tow package. The one you show has a 2inch ball and I need a 2 5/16inch ball. I am interested in the Blue Ox so I will not need to make adjustments with washer as with other systems.

The Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU36FR is only available with the 2" ball included. It can be removed and replaced with a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40030 to fit your Vista Cruiser.

The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW0550 is another option you may consider as it to does not use the washers in the hitch head. The brackets will sit on top of the trailer frame and are held in place by a tension bolt. This system is easier to change to different trailers if you decide to switch trailers or have multiple trailers you use. A ball is not included but the same 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40030 will fit this hitch.
