Weight-distributing hitch (8–10K)

The CURT weight distribution hitch is a specialized towing system that improves vehicle and trailer control by leveling the trailer and distributing tongue weight more evenly between the trailer and vehicle axles. Weight distribution hitches are commonly used with travel trailers and campers, but can also be used with other heavy loads. CURT WD hitches feature a 2” x 2” shank and are compatible with Class 3, 4, and most Class 5 trailer hitches, including Xtra Duty and Commercial Duty (a replacement 2-1/2” WD shank may be required), as well as some RV trailer hitches. Although a weight distribution hitch increases the gross weight capacity of most trailer hitches, the vehicle’s load capacity must be considered before towing a heavier trailer (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). This round-bar weight distribution hitch features a rugged formed head and square spring bars made from forged steel. It offers a gross trailer weight capacity of up to 10,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 lbs. It also includes mounting brackets, spring bar safety chains, a trailer ball, and a pin and clip. To protect this hitch from scratches, chips, rust, and UV damage, it also comes with a durable black powder coat finish. For added sway control, this weight distribution hitch includes a sway control unit. Although weight distribution hitches are an effective solution for stabilizing and leveling your towing setup, they should not be considered a sway control system. However, when combined with a CURT sway control kit, the WD hitch maximizes its effectiveness in controlling sway. The sway control kit includes a sway control unit, trailer balls for attachment to the trailer and hitch, a backing plate, and attachment clips.
