What Hitch and Weight Distribution System do You Recommend for My 2022 Toyota Highlander Non-XSE?

Question:

I'm looking to tow my 7,800 pound trailer and I want to prevent sway on the highway as much as possible. What hitch and weight distribution system works best when towing on my 2022 Toyota Highlander (non-XSE)? Also, my trailer tongue is just over 30 inches with a frame height of 5 inches. It has a 850 pound tongue weight.

It is always a great idea to install a weight distribution hitch on your 2022 Toyota Highlander (non-XSE). For a hitch that is perfect for your application, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch # C45CR. When used with a weight distribution system, this hitch not only provides up to 900 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 8,000 pounds of maximum gross towing weight, it also comes with a superior gloss outer coat over the base powder coat to give you ultimate protection against rust and corrosion.

As far as the weight distribution system, I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On # BXW1000. Not only does your 7,800 pound trailer with 850 pounds of tongue weight fit within the weight confines of the SwayPro, the SwayPro takes away the headache of stacking washers in order to get the precise angle of tilt. The system comes with a 2-5/16 inch trailer ball and is 100% made in the U.S.A.
