Weight Distributing Hitches
Weight distributing hitches are adaptations to regular hitches. They couple the vehicle and trailer chassis to distribute the load and lessen the up-down effects of the hitch being a pivot point. Some also include anti-sway components to dampen any fishtail effects of the vehicle-trailer combination.
Round or Square Bar
Sway Control
Information
- Evenly distributes weight across the vehicle and trailer
- Spring arms dampen up/down motion at the hitch pivot point
- Allows normal left/right pivot at the hitch to allow normal driving
- May require bottom mount coupler on the trailer
Information
- Works the same as regular weight distribution hitch for load distribution and dampening up/down motion at the hitch ball pivot point.
- Adds dampening of left/right motion at the hitch pivot point to lessen fishtail effect and give better handling and control in windy situations.
