Weigh Safe True Tow “Middleweight” Weight Distribution Hitch 2″ Shank 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 safer and smoother 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 by using the scale’s readout on the fly. 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. For an added bonus, download Weigh Safe’s “DTW” Distributed Tongue Weight app to assist with weight calculations and trailer setup.
