Best Weight Distribution System for a Starcraft Travel Trailer AR-One 17RD
Question:
I have a 2015 Dodge Durango AWD V6 with a dealer installed hitch. I plan to purchase and tow a travel trailer weighing 2900 lb with a hitch weight of 305 lb. Can you suggest an integrated sway control weight distribution kit for me to use?

Thanks for the picture! It looks like your 2016 Starcraft Travel Trailer AR-One 17rd tops out at 3,500 lbs. The tongue weight is typically 10% - 15% of your trailers total weight. You're going to want a weight distribution system that is rated for a minimum of 525 lbs of tongue weight. I recommend the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BLU36FR. This system has built in sway control and a tongue weight range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs. This will give you a comfortable range depending on how loaded your trailer is. I have linked a review video below.
