Refer to your Owner’s Manual for your car or truck and trailer for additional information. Unlike friction sway control, the dual cam is an active form of sway control.Ĭhoosing a Reese weight distribution system requires careful evaluation of a number of factors, including Tongue Weight (TW) Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), and many other factors. The secret of an active sway control system is the high performance dual cam sway control. Active Sway Control, a Reese exclusive, is more effective than a straight line system.It does not prevent sway, but works to resist the forces once they have started. Friction sway control operates on the principle of stiffening the coupling between the tow vehicle and the trailer. Friction Sway Control is more common and less expensive system.There are two standard sway control systems.
Properly designed and installed sway controls can deliver safer, more comfortable ride for you and your passengers. Wind gusts, uneven surfaces, or a down-grade can cause sudden sway. Consult your dealer for the proper weight distribution kit and hitch ball for your trailer.Īnother driving condition weight distribution systems can assist with is trailer sway. Weight distribution systems are engineered on the basis of tongue weight and gross trailer weight. These components work together to provide a more level ride with greater steering and braking control. A hitch ball that connects the weight distribution assembly to the trailer.significant concern when towing with a standard equalizer hitch Downshift. A weight distribution kit is installed. EXTEND IT Class IV Towing Equipment -inc: Hitch and Trailer Sway Control.A hitch rated for weight distribution (Class III, Class IV, or Class V) is attached to the tow vehicle.That means a better towing experience, and greater piece of mind.Ī weight distribution system comprises three components: The Weight Distribution hitch systems provide a softer ride and distribute forces more evenly than previous technologies. The result is a more level ride, which reduces stress on the rear of the tow vehicle while providing greater steering and breaking control. A Reese Weight Distribution System evenly distributes the weight of the trailer between the trailer axles and the tow vehicle axles. Then the Equalizer uses friction control to stop side to side sway while the Hensley does not. The equalizer is supposed to provide 4-point sway control while the Hensley just says continuous sway control. According to the Hensley website, their hitches start at 2400 approx. In fact, Reese helped to develop the standards used by the State of New York and the US Department of Transportation. It also means that it is going to be costly. Reese has been at the forefront of trailering equipment research and development for many years.
