Lightbulb Do you need one ?

Whether or not you need a weight distribution
hitch and equalizers depends on your trailer
design and the vehicle you put in it or on it.

Every trailer and every vehicle you put in
a trailer changes the tongue weight.

For example - this is the trailer I pull
just about every day - notice the axle
placement …

.


If I transport a vehicle in the usual position
(front end forward) then I benefit from
a weight distribution/equalizer set up.

However - if I reverse the vehicle then my
trailer is balanced and I don’t need one.

Most folks haul the same vehicle(s ) in or
on the same trailer pulled by the same
tow vehicle.

My advice is to experiment with your set up.
