Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A 2022 Grand Design Imagine XLS 22ME
Question:
I have a 2022 Imagine XLS 22ME. Empty hitch weight is 490 Dry weight is 5176 GVWR is 6995 Total length is 26.1’ Would the Curt 17500 be a good WDH for my TT? Or would is be over rated and produce a harsh ride? Thanks for any help! Jin

Hey Jon,
The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 has a tongue weight capacity range of 800lbs - 1,000lbs. The rule of thumb is that your fully loaded tongue weight is about 10-15% of your GVWR, which would put you around 699 - 1,049lbs of tongue weight. You'll probably be closer to 700 - 800lbs in tongue weight so I'd go with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1000 instead. This hitch is rated for 600 - 1,000lbs so you'll be well within its range.
