The chief player in the specialized towing world is the weight distribution WD hitch. A CURT weight distribution hitch is a special towing product that provides improved vehicle and trailer control by leveling the trailer and more evenly distributing its weight across the tow vehicle’s axles. Similar to a ball mount a CURT weight distribution hitch mounts into the receiver tube opening of a trailer hitch and latches onto the trailer’s A-frame using two spring bars. This allows the hitch to lift up on the back of the vehicle so to speak and level out the tow vehicle and the heavy trailer. CURT weight-distributing hitches are commonly used on RVs and can also be applied to flatbeds boat trailers heavy utility trailers livestock trailers and other large loads. With a 2x 2shank our WD hitches are compatible with our classes 3 and 4 trailer hitches as well as our Xtra Duty Commercial Duty and RV trailer hitches. The CURT 17063 round bar weight distribution hitch is a complete kit to give you everything you need for the best possible weight distribution and sway control. This all-in-one weight distribution hitch includes the hitch assembly forged steel spring bars built-in attachment tabs a sway control unit and a pre-torqued 2 5/16trailer ball. It features a gross trailer weight capacity of up to 14000 lbs. and a tongue weight rating of 1400 lbs. To top it off this round bar WD hitch comes with a durable powder coat finish for long-lasting corrosion resistance. Remember while a weight distribution hitch will increase the gross trailer weight capacity of most trailer hitches the vehicle’s weight carrying capacity must be taken into consideration before towing a heavier trailer.
