Weigh Safe XL True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch 2.5" Shank

Coming from the professionals at Weigh Safe, the True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch not only redistributes weight across your towing platform but also measures vehicular tongue weight using a built-in, hitch-mounted scale while doing so. With knowledge comes power: The power to safely and comfortably tow a trailer. 

The magic of weight distributing hitches is the "distribution" of tongue weight from the trailer to the back axle of the tow vehicle and the axle(s) of the trailer - helping to keep weight on the front axle of the tow vehicle. This provides a secure, smooth ride with reduced sway caused by wind or passing vehicles. Benefits include a much safer and enjoyable towing experience - all while reducing wear and failure risk to tires, wheel bearings, suspension components and drivetrain of both trailer and tow vehicle. 

Factor in Weigh Safe's built-in scale, and the benefit of a True Tow Hitch System cannot be denied. Achieve an optimal tongue weight (of 10-15% gross trailer weight) every time. When your load or conditions change, save time and effort fine-tuning a new tongue weight using the scale's readout in real time.

For an added bonus, download Weigh Safe's "DTW" Distributed Tongue Weight app to assist with weight calculations and trailer setup. Weigh Safe's Weight Distribution Hitches are also easy to change between different tow vehicles and trailers. Simply mount additional sets of bracket hardware (sold separately) to any additional rigs.
