Weight-Distributing Hitch
A weight-distributing hitch system works by applying
leverage through spring (load) bars. They are typically
used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight
to the tow vehicle’s front axle and the trailer axle(s). When
used in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions, it
provides for a more level ride, offering more consistent
steering and brake control and thereby enhancing towing
safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic sway control
also dampens sway caused by traffic and crosswinds,
contributing positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability.
Trailer sway control and a weight distributing (load equal-
izing) hitch are recommended for heavier Tongue Weights
(TW) and may be required depending on Vehicle and
Trailer configuration/loading to comply with GAWR
requirements.
