Is Curt MV Weight Distribution Comparable to Harbor Freight WD System
Question:
Hi all, seeing I can get a decent harbor freight WDH for about $250. What are some comparable hitches out there? Dont mind paying a bit more but $500+ for something is too much for me. Would like something I can order that would ship within a week or less

The Curt MV weight distribution part # C17057 would be a great example of a weight distribution similar to the one you found in design and in cost but that is a higher quality. My brother actually has the Harbor Freight WD system and while it has so far not failed I wasn't overly impressed with the build quality. This system is rated for 1,000-1,400 lb tongue weight.
For lighter MV models we have the part # C17052 which is rated for 800-1,000, the # C17050 which is rated for 500 lbs - 600 lbs, and # C17051 which is rated for 600-800 lbs.
