Best Weight Distribution Hitch For 10,000 lb Trailer & 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
Question:
What is the best weight distribution hitch for my trailer that weighs 10,000 lbs fully loaded? My truck has a 2-1/2 inch hitch so I'll need one that fits that as well. Thanks!

For a trailer that weighs 10,000 lbs when fully loaded, you'll need a higher-rated weight distribution hitch, and the best one for that is from Blue Ox, called the SwayPro. The correctly rated SwayPro that also fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver is the following:
- Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU54TR
The SwayPro # BLU54TR is rated for trailers with a total tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs so it's perfectly rated for your trailer. But aside from being rated correctly, the SwayPro is the best option because of its superb sway control, ease of use, and minimal noise. Let's start with how it combats sway, which is at four different points on the hitch - at both sides of the hitch head and brackets - which allows more overall control over sway than other systems. This ensures you have the most controlled, comfortable, and safe towing experience possible.
It is also much, much quieter than other systems because it uses brackets that connect to lift chains, so you won't hear the loud, grating noise that comes with hitches that use metal-on-metal friction-style brackets. The SwayPro # BLU54TR comes with everything you need for installation, and is easier to set up than other systems due to the clamp-on brackets and lift chains. To get the right tension you just tighten the chains with the included wrench and you're set.
