How Do I Know If I Need a Weight Distribution Hitch?
If your tow load exceeds half of your gross vehicle weight rating or if the trailer is longer than your vehicle, you need a weight distribution hitch.
By redistributing cargo weight more evenly, a weight-distributing trailer hitch prevents swaying and improves handling.
How Is a Weigh Safe Weight Distribution Hitch Different from Traditional Hitches?
The Live Adjustment System on the True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch is a key feature that sets it apart from traditional weight distribution hitches. True Tow Technology makes installation and operation easier, faster, and more accurate.

Why Tow with a Weight Distribution System?
Optimized Safety and Stability
A properly equipped weight distribution system significantly improves towing safety by redistributing the tongue weight evenly across the vehicle and trailer axles.
This balance ensures your tow vehicle maintains firm contact with the road, enhancing steering control, improving braking response, and minimizing the risk of dangerous trailer sway.
Enhanced 4 Area Sway Control
Our Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch features advanced 4 area sway control designed to minimize trailer sway before it begins.
With sway control at four distinct friction points, you benefit from unmatched stability, reduced driver fatigue, and increased peace of mind—especially in challenging conditions like crosswinds, uneven roads, or heavy traffic.
Improved Handling and Comfort
When towing heavy or uneven loads, weight-distributing trailer hitches enhance ride quality by eliminating sagging and uneven handling.
By stabilizing your setup, the Weigh Safe system delivers a smoother, safer driving experience, making every journey more comfortable and less stressful.
Extend the Life of Your Vehicle and Trailer
Evenly distributing your load helps minimize excessive stress and strain on your vehicle’s suspension, tires, and chassis components. By protecting against unnecessary wear and tear, you can extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your vehicle and trailer for years to come.
Ensure Compliance and Peace of Mind
Using a properly adjusted weight distribution system helps ensure compliance with towing regulations and manufacturer recommendations, giving you confidence and peace of mind every time you hit the road.
Weight Distribution Hitch FAQs
Your trailer may sway more and become harder to control. All of which increases the risk of getting into an accident. You could also wear out your suspension, hitch parts, and tires faster.
Yes, tongue weight can change even if the trailer looks balanced. Balance and tongue weight are two separate factors.
Tongue weight is the downward force on your vehicle and trailer connection. Balance is how the cargo’s weight is distributed.
As you move things or get rid of objects, the tongue weight can change even if it looks balanced on the outside.
To know if your current hitch setup is distributing weight correctly, you need to do two things: Check your tongue weight and ensure it’s between 10–15% of your total weight.
Then, check the overall balance of your trailer and vehicle; if either is lifting or seems to push down, there’s a problem.
You can also test-drive your setup by driving around at slower speeds and ensuring there is no swaying.
Technically, weight distribution hitches aren’t required for certain trailers or towing setups. However, it’s heavily recommended for use with RVs, campers, car towers, and any heavy cargo.
No, a weight distribution hitch shouldn’t be difficult to install or adjust. If you follow the included directions, you should finish it easily.
Sometimes, one weight distribution hitch can work across multiple trailers if they share the same weight capacity, sit at the right height for level towing, and are of the same size and built.
