To select the correct B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System for your needs you will first need to determine if you have a standard coupler(mounts on top of trailer frame rails) or an underslung coupler(mounts on the bottom of the trailer frame rails). We have both types available with either a 2" or 2-1/2" receiver for your truck and they are all rated for a trailer with a tongue weight from 600-1,600lbs.

Standard Coupler
2" Receiver System # BW78FR
2-1/2" Receiver System # BW28FR

Underslung Coupler
2" Receiver System # BW88FR
2-1/2" Receiver System # BW53FR

We do offer the Standard Weight Distribution Load Bars # BW38FR or Underslung Weight Distribution Load Bars # BW98FR in the event you switch trailers or want to use the same hitch with multiple trailers.
