Review of Curt Weight Distribution Hitch - 10K Weight Distribution With Sway Control - C17500 Video

Weight distribution systems are prone to making some odd noises, but a sound that would wake that dead is probably on the higher than normal side of things. The lift brackets of the Curt kit part #C17500 that you referenced can be greased and you can…

Most of the 2-5/16 inch hitch balls will use either a 1-inch diameter shank or 1-1/4 inch diameter shank. The nut size on a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank, like the Tow Ready 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball, part #19286, will use a 1-7/8 inch socket. A…

With your trailer having a 7,000 pound rating, the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 #C17500 may not be the best option for you. Typically the tongue weight of a trailer will be 10% of its…

The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors #KS80930 I feel are the best mirrors extensions for your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. These have all the cut outs for turn signals, puddle lights and cameras you may have on your mirrors. The snap on design…

I called my contact at Curt and asked about the torque needed for the ball that the sway control is attached to on the trailer hitch. They told me that there has never been a torque listed but if you would torque it to about 150 ft-lbs it will have…

Normally we recommend people check the owners manual or hitch for a separate rating when used with a weight distribution system, but for a full framed truck like your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 with such high towing capacities we basically know…

I have a solution for you because as you know what you have now cannot charge Lithium batteries. You will need the Progressive Dynamics #PD4135K which is designed to replace your WF-8735P and is compatible with Lithium batteries. When this is…

The more tension that is on the spring bars such as those in Curt system #C17500, the more weight is distributed to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer. It wouldn't be just on the truck side or just on the trailer side. I am glad that you…

First, the 636 pounds of tongue weight is the dry tongue weight and will increase once the trailer is loaded and ready to tow. Since the dry weight is 6,200 pounds and the dry tongue weight is 636 pounds that means that the tongue weight is 10.25…
