What is Meant By "When Used With Weight Distribution" To Go From 600 TW to 750 TW
Question:
What is meant by “when used with weight distribution” to go from 600 Lbs. to 750 Lbs. TW? Is this additional hardware that needs to be purchased?

Expert Reply:
That is referring to the usage of a weight distribution hitch, like the Blue Ox Track Pro # BLU47FR. Weight distribution systems are designed to help distribute the tongue weight of the trailer to the front axle of the tow vehicle, in doing so they also can increase the towing capacity of a vehicle.
The best way to pick the correct weight distribution hitch is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the trailer. For example the Blue Ox Track Pro # BLU47FR, is made for trailers with a tongue weight between 600 and 800 lbs.
