Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2021 Crossroads Zinger Travel Trailer  

Question:

Hello, I have a trailer Crossroads Zinger 2021 340BH travel trailer that is 9.5K dry weight and has a tongue weight of 1250 lbs. I have since loaded it with TVs and other interior items, so it is heavier now. Is this hitch sufficient for my trailer?

With the tongue weight being 1,250 pounds before the additions, the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 9-Hole Shank # BLU59FR will most likely not be a heavy duty enough option. This has a max tongue weight capacity of 1,300 pounds, so you will need to go with something different.

If you wanted to stay with Blue Ox, the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 15,000 lbs GTW, 1,500 lbs TW # BXW1500 will have a maximum tongue weight capacity of 1,500 pounds and a minimum capacity of 1,000 pounds. As you really want to match your trailer tongue weight to the middle of the systems capacity, this will be a better option. However, this does include a shank that only has 7 holes, or 2 inches of drop. If you need more drop than this will come with, we do have the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches - 9" Long - 9 Hole Adjustment # BXW4002. This will still handle the higher weight capacity, but will also give you 4 1/2 inches of drop. The final part you would need to complete this set up will be the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-5/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 15,000 lbs # C40030.

If you are not preferable to the chain style systems, we do also have the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 15,000 lbs GTW, 1,500 lbs TW # C17501. This will attach in the same way as the # BLU59FR, but will have the higher capacity. This also will not have much drop though, so you would need to add the # C17123 which will get you up to get 8-1/4 inches of drop.
