Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For Flagstaff Trailer With 3,300 lb GVWR
Question:
Looking for a weight distribution hitch for a flagstaff 823D. Had a max weight of 3339 lbs and tongue weight 358 lbs. Also requires 2 inch ball. Thanks for any recommendations.

Hey Jonathan, really appreciate all that info, and we can definitely get your Flagstaff 823D set up with a weight distribution hitch. Since your GVWR is just over 3,300 lbs your loaded tongue weight will be in the 400 lb to 450 lb range, and for that I highly recommend a hitch from Fastway:
- Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0600
The # FA94-00-0600 is rated for loaded tongue weights between 400 lbs and 600 lbs which is perfect for your Flagstaff. I really like this hitch because it is easily the best value among weight distribution hitches, giving you a combination of relative cost-effectiveness and quality.
The Fastway will definitely keep your trailer level, but it also gives you sway control for a more controlled (and safer) towing experience. Our customers really like it too; it has hundreds of reviews (as you can see on the product page) and is rated very highly.
It comes with a shank so the only other thing you need is the hitch ball, and since you mentioned needing a 2" hitch ball the correct part is # A-90.
