Is Reese Pro Weight Distribution Hitch Right For Coleman 17B Travel Trailer w/ 500 lb Tongue Weight
Question:
Hello, I have a Coleman Travel trailer 17B with a dry weight of 3,100lbs. As for my vehicle, I have a 2023 Tacoma SR V6. What would be the recommended distribution hitch? I believe the tongue weight is between 400-500lbs. I was looking into buying the Reese Pro PN:RE34FR. But I would like to make sure this is suited for my vehicle, or a better option. Thank you, Jaime

Hi there Jaime; thanks for the question and you are right on the money for the Reese weight distribution hitch that will work with your Coleman 17B:
- Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR
This is rated for tongue weights between 200 lbs and 600 lbs, so your 400-500 lb tongue weight is right in the middle, which is exactly what you want.
This is a solid, no-nonsense option that will give you solid sway control and already has the 2-5/16" hitch ball installed, which will save you a lot of time, as installing that ball can be a real pain. So you made a real nice choice here with the # RE34FR.
