Recommended Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control for a 2017 Tear Trailer

Question:

What weight distribution hitch with sway prevention would you recommend for our 2017 T@B Outback Tear trailer. We pull it with a 2019 Toyota Highlander V6. I think the tongue weight is 350 lbs. Thanks

The best weight distribution system with sway control for your 2017 Outback Tear Trailer is going to be the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0600. The e2 system has a tongue weight range of 250 lbs - 600 lbs which will be sufficient to work with your trailer but not so over capacity that it results in a rough ride. The built in sway control limits side-to-side movement by using steel-on-steel friction that helps to minimize sway caused by winds or sudden maneuvers like a semi going by you on a highway. The included shank fits a 2" x 2" receiver and has a total height adjustment of 7-1/2" so plenty of range to be level with your Highlander. I have linked a review video below that will demonstrate the functions of this system.

This system does not include a hitch ball. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # A-90 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40030.

I also recommend the Classic Accessories Tow Bar and Weight Distribution Tote item # CA80113. This heavy duty bag is perfect for storing your weight distributing hitch. It is 36" x 11" Wide x 8" Tall and has padding that prevents damage to your hitch and prevents dings to your vehicle's cargo area from shifting gear.
