Review of Curt Weight Distribution Hitch - WD Only - 17302 Video

The only weight distribution systems that do not allow backing up are those that use friction sway control (which is an added piece), so yes, you can absolutely back up with the Reese Pro system you asked about, which is the following part number: -…

I am glad you mentioned that the tag states you can use weight distribution. With aluminum frame trailers people often have to call and ask if such a trailer can be used with weight distribution. But we can skip that and get to the next step. When…

The two louder systems are the two that work the best strangely. The Equalizer systems groan pretty loudly from the friction and the Straitline systems makes loud popping noises as the cams move around during corners. The best way to pick out a…

I confirmed with my contact at Curt that the spring bars of the Curt Trunnion Weight Distribution System part #17302 is 30-5/8 inches. You are also correct about the Curt Short-Arm Systems as they have 28-5/8 inch length spring bars. I attached an…

Great question! The tongue weight rating on a weight distribution hitch (WDH), like the 1K Blue Ox TrackPro #BLU55FR, takes into account the loaded tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle…

The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty #RED24FR is the way to go over the Elite #RED44FR as you get the nicer functions of the Elite at a lower price. The Elite has the ability to be the more preferred proportional style of controller as well as a time-delayed…
