Do weight distribution hitches actually work?

While a weight distribution system can’t increase the total amount of weight a tow vehicle can haul beyond its maximum capacity, it can improve handling by distributing some of the weight off the tongue and onto the other axles — thereby safely getting you closer to that maximum mark.

Does an Equal-i-zer hitch reduce tongue weight?

Weight distribution works to distribute the tongue weight of a trailer up to the front axle of the tow vehicle so that it will sit more level and handle/brake better. That being said the systems do not “reduce” tongue weight or allow you to tow beyond the capacities of the vehicle.

What happens if trailer hitch is too high?

If the hitch is too high for the travel trailer, it will tip backward, creating a slanted profile and an unbalanced weight distribution. You’ll be less aerodynamic this way and your trailer is more likely to catch the wind and begin to sway.

What happens if tongue weight is too heavy?

If the tongue weight is too heavy, the steering of the tow vehicle will be affected. If the tongue is too light, you need to move some of the cargo forward of trailer’s axle. If the tongue is too heavy, you need to adjust the load so that more of the weight is behind the trailer’s axle.
