Recommended Reese Strait-Line for 2022 Silverado 2500 Towing Forest River Cherokee 294RR
Question:
What reese straight line weight distribution hitch recommended for following: 2022 Silverado 2500HD Diesel . Travel trailer cherokee 294rr GVWR 11380 dry 6969 TW 1180 RP66084 or RP66075 or RP66130
asked by: Daniel H
Expert Reply:
The Reese Strait-Line system should be chosen according to your loaded tongue weight. Ideally you want your actual tongue weight to fall in the middle of the tongue weight range of the weight distribution hitch. Since your dry tongue weight is 1,180 lbs the # RP66084 isn't rated high enough. You will be over the 1,200 lb max once you add propane and batteries.
Based on your GVWR and dry weight you more than likely will be able to use the # RP66130. This has a tongue weight range of 1,000-1,500 lbs. For a shank you can use the # RP54970 and for a 2-5/16" ball the # C40030. I recommend measuring your tongue weight using a scale like the # e99044 to be sure. If you're going over 1,500 lbs then you would need the # RP66075.
I have attached some review videos along with a helpful article on measuring tongue weight for your reference.
