Weight Distribution Hitches

A weight distribution hitch transfers a portion of the trailer’s tongue weight to the tow vehicle’s front axle for enhanced control and towing stability. A trailer with an uneven load or heavy tongue weight can cause the rear of the towing vehicle to sag, taking weight off the vehicle’s front axle. This can adversely affect steering control and braking efficiency. Weight distribution hitches utilize spring bars and chains to transfer some of the trailer's tongue weight to the front axle of the tow vehicle, leveling the vehicle and improving handling. Quality weight distribution hitches are built from durable materials with corrosion-resistant finishes and many feature sway control for additional towing stability.
