Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For My Hallmark 20 Car Trailer

Question:

Hi, I have a 2021 RAM 3500HD that I need a recommendation on a weight distribution hitch for. These newer HD trucks are much taller than my old pickup and I want it to ride level. I will be towing a Haulmark 20 car trailer. dry weight is 3600 lbs. Will be carrying up to 6000 lbs cargo weight.

When you're towing your Hallmark 20 Car Trailer with your 2021 Ram 3500 I recommend using The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 8,000 pounds GTW, 800 pounds TW # FA94-00-0800.

When it comes to using a weight distribution system you need to be as close as possible to the load rate of your trailer. Since your trailer will way 3,600 pounds dry and 6,000 pounds fully loaded this system fits perfectly in that weight range. It has a Maximum rise of 5-3/4 inches from the top of the receiver opening and has a maximum drop of 2-1/4 inches from the top of the hitch receiver opening. This system has a no-drill, clamp-on brackets install that can be adjusted along the trailer frame to accommodate the frame-mounted items.

Everything is included with this system except The 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems - 10,000 pounds # EQ91-00-6100. There is other shanks that you can purchase that will give you more of a drop or rise like The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank - 12 inch Long - 10-1/4 inch Rise, 5-1/2 inch Drop - 1,200 pounds TW # FA92-02-4214 if needed.

I attached an installation video link below of the weight distribution being installed on a different vehicle, but it is the same concept.
