With our Draw-Tite class 3, we're going to have 400 pounds of tongue weight with 4,000 pounds of gross trailer weight. If you're going to use weight distribution on that one, it will bump you up to 500 pounds of tongue weight and 5,000 pounds of gross trailer weight. Another difference you're going to notice between the Draw-Tite and both of our Curt's is this has got 2 hitch pinholes.
