2017 Toyota Highlander le plus. The hitch states 900 lbs of max tongue weight. The car is rated up to 5000 lbs of towing. The boat and trailer is about 24 feet long and weighs about 4000 lbs. The boat trailer has surge brake system. The rear of the car is squatting a lot. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600 with your 4,000LB boat and trailer. This hitch is rated to work on trailers with 200-600lbs of tongue weight and a maximum trailer weight up to 6,000lbs. In the event your trailer uses a pole tongue the Pole-Tongue Adapter # EQ95-01-5950 will allow you to use the weight distribution hitch with the straight tongue.
You will need a hitch ball to match your coupler. We have a 2" # EQ91-00-6080 or 2-5/16" # EQ91-00-6100 depending on what coupler size your trailer requires. You will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the hitch ball onto the Fastway head.
