Hitch Extender Type Solution for Weight Distribution System

Question:

I am towing a 3000 lb camper with my 2022 Tacoma Limited - rated at 6500 lbs. Is it okay to use the GY89SR hitch extender? Will also be using equalizer 4K hitch. Thanks

I have a really great solution for you but none of the hitch extenders that fit a 2 inch hitch can be used with a weight distribution system. Instead you'd want to go with a much longer weight distribution shank.

The longest 2" weight distribution shank for 1,400lbs of tongue weight is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution shank # EQ90-02-4600 which measures 18". This would give you about the same additional length you would get with the hitch extender you mentioned.
