Weight-distributing hitch (8K–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 for 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 taken into account before towing a heavier trailer (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). This round bar weight distribution hitch features a heavy-duty formed head and square spring bars made of forged steel. It offers a gross trailer weight capacity of up to 10,000 lb and a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 lb. It also includes hookup brackets, spring-loaded safety chains, and a pin and clip. To protect the hitch from scratches, chips, rust, and UV damage, it also comes with a durable black powder coat finish. A trailer ball must be purchased separately.
