Questions & Answers

My 2013 GMC Sierra has an automatic transmission. Does this work on it?

As long as you have a standard hitch with a 2 inch receiver, it will work on any vehicle

If I have a lifted truck, do you offer an option with a long ?

In my Nissan Titan I put a 3 inch lift on it and it pulls my 28 ft travel trailer with ease

Do you need to drill the tongue of the trailer?

This is not a drilling operation. A bracket provided in the box is placed on the tongue of the trailer and fastened with the self-tapping screws provided To lock the tongue into the metal, a pinch bolt is centered around the metal on the tongue.

Is there anything else I need to buy if I do this? What are we going to do with the ball?

The ball is separate from the other items I bought. It may be necessary for you to purchase a receiver if your tow vehicle is not equipped with one.

Selected User Reviews For Husky 31423 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Bolt-Together Ball Mount/Shank Assembly 1200 Lbs Max Tongue

This was a good buy and a good product as we purchased it for our new TT with a dry weight of 7000 lbs and a GVWR of 9000 lbs, pulling the trailer with a 2011 Chevrolet Despite my interest in these things, I have never really understood how they are installed
4/5

It doesn't bother me as long as they do what they need to do and how they help, but I do not know why they measure drop and rise of your tow vehicle and hitch. It was a very clear set of instructions, and I also found some good YouTube videos to supplement them. When I used the distribution hitch on my 1st TT, the GVWR was probably around 7k pounds, and I never used the anti-theft system Using the same truck, but without the sway bar. The weight of this new TT is significantly greater, even just with the anti-theft system installed There was still some swaying on the back end of the car after taking the sway bar out. If you want to know the science behind the rise and drop of your hitch, then you are going to need to research those measurements. The hitch on my original trailer had a rise to it that I could see at a glance, but I concluded it was the reason my new TT swayed. There was an excessive amount of traffic on the line. I measured the height of my truck on the back end before hooking up my new hitch and measuring the height of the trailer before the hooking up was complete. My measurements after hooking up showed almost four inches of drop without bars. In addition to the weight bars, my truck was within 1/2" of level after they were installed. Still have yet to take it out on the road, but I will do so There will be no more white knuckle riding for me. One complaint I have is that the ad prior had shown a nice pry bar with rubber handles for the mounting brackets instead I received a piece of galvanized tubing that was just a little over 2' long but it worked fine. I find this distribution hitch fits well onto my TT, and it is within the tongue weight and GVWR of my TT, plus it is budget friendly as well.

I found the system to be very good for the price
5/5

Instructions were a bit confusing. This is an awesome setup for that price. I must say this thing is pretty hefty and heavy. It seems like you are adding 70 pounds to your This would probably be overkill for our little 3,800 GVR trailer, but it did level it out nicely. Instructions for installation are inadequate but if you are a bit technical, you will be able to In actuality, the process of installing it is quite easy, so you don't really need to worry about it that much. I would prefer if there were a YouTube video about how to install it since the instructions are so terrible.

It's a great hitch for trailers with heavy loads
5/5

Several things should be measured before installing this hitch, and the spring preload should be adjusted on the spring bar. For an easy installation and adjustment, read the instructions before installing the hitch. By the time you hitch up the trailer, you'll be able to adjust the spring bar for properly loaded springs. Currently, I have a Dodge Cummins short bed 3/4 truck carrying a 3500 lb truck camper on top of it, plus I tow with a 52" extended hitch and a double axel trailer weighing around 5000 lbs. My wife was very concerned about how this trailer would handle but she was pleasantly surprised by how nice the ride was on the truck. This hitch levels truck and trailer and the truck rides so nicely that she commented on how good it was. With the camper and trailer attached to the truck, it is extremely safe on the highway. Due to the chassis design, there are fewer chances for the truck's nose to bounce up and down on rough Because I have heavily modified the suspension on my truck, the hitch will not change the trucks load capacity, but it does shift the hitch weight from the back of the truck to the front of the truck and onto For heavy trucks and trailers, I recommend you use a weight distribution hitch. I travel thousands of miles each year, so I fully endorse this.

For towing, this is essential
5/5

Very good value for the money! The package was damaged to the point where I couldn't open it. However, luckily, I could find all the pieces. Weight distribution hitch that has a very heavy duty design. Especially if you are towing a lot, these are essential. Tow vehicles with these wheels perform better on the road and are safer because they take weight off the bumper. The only negative is the box! Otherwise, very pleased and happy.

It is missing some small parts
4/5

It's difficult to pinpoint whose fault it is. Upon arrival, the package had been damaged, opened, or returned. Whatever the case might be, there were some missing parts. Assembling the hitch ahead of our camping trip for the weekend was completed on Sunday. Cotter pins are not going to appear anytime soon. In order to complete the installation, we had to purchase the missing bolts There was just something really sad about the whole thing. It is unreasonable to expect more after spending this amount of The most important thing is that you follow the directions precisely. Getting a box wrench is the best idea if they warn you to get one.

A hitch for distributing weight
5/5

On my 2017 Silverado 1500 Z71 (stock height), I installed a 2021 keystone hideaway 19RB to pull a cargo trailer. It was easy to set up and install this hitch. There was a 2-star review on Amazon already I used the 5/16" ball (not included) and this worked great with the trailer. The instructions were easy to follow, everything shipped and arrived on time with no problems.

A heavy weight
5/5

There is an enormous chunk of iron in the end of the As well as striking it, it hurts to walk into it. Despite the complexities of the instructions, it was relatively easy to put together and install. It will take a couple of hours to install, and a level site is crucial.

This was a very helpful article
5/5

In terms of finding a level place to install, we had the biggest problem. The process of adjusting it was easy once we knew how to do In our travel trailer, we used it on our first trip and noticed a great deal of improvement.
