Hitch Manages Tongue Weight
 ✖  |
“Anyone who tows a loaded trailer will have a safer and more efficient journey when the hitch weight is matched to the towing vehicle,” says Morgan McAllister of Weigh Safe. “Our Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch has a gauge and a live adjustment system with an internal pivot point built into the head assembly.
“When the trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the gauge weighs the tongue, and the operator adjusts the device to the proper tongue weight. Using the Weigh Safe App, the operator will input measurements. The operator will then use the live adjustment system to achieve the proper DTW for the vehicle and trailer.”
Tightening or loosening the lead screw on the hitch head adjusts the sway bars to distribute the weight evenly between the trailer axles and the tow vehicle. This balancing provides a safer and smoother ride. “The hitch eliminates the guesswork in matching the weight to the tow vehicle,” McAllister says. “Guessing is never a good idea.” The hitch also provides anti-sway friction points to reduce sway caused by wind and passing vehicles.
Weigh Safe hitches are priced from $899 to $999 and come with a 2 15/16-in. stainless steel tall ball.
