Does the True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch work on an aluminum frame trailer?
Yes, the largest A-Frame that our weight distribution hitch can fit on is a 2.5″x6″ frame, so as long as it is that size or smaller, it should work!
Does the True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch add to tongue weight?
Add it to your Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR); our calculations take the weight of the hitch into account and distributes it.
Can you back up with the True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch?
While not recommended, you can back up with your hitch attached as long as you’re not backing up a steep driveway or anything that is a significant change in grade.
Can I use air bags with my True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch?
Yes, you can. The purpose of the weight distribution hitch is to return any weight that is lost off the front axle of the tow vehicle when the trailer is attached. It is not meant to take away all the squat in the truck. The tongue weight of the trailer still exists and is added to the back axle causing compression on the springs. If you would like to reduce that remaining squat in the back of your tow vehicle, feel free to use airbags or any other anti-squat system. Just make sure you check that your DTW (Distributed Tongue Weight) is correct for every tow with or without airbags.
Why does my truck still have some squat?
The purpose of the weight distribution hitch is to return any weight that is lost off the front of the axle of the tow vehicle when the trailer is attached. It is not meant to take away all the squat in the truck. The tongue weight of the trailer still exists and is added to the back of the axle causing compression on the springs. If you would like to reduce that remaining squat in the back of your tow vehicle, feel free to use the air bags or any other anti-squat system. Just make sure you check that your DTW (distributed tongue weight) is correct for every tow with or without airbags.
My truck is still squatting a ton?
If you feel that your truck is still squatting more than normal even after you have adjusted the True Tow hitch to read the DTW that you determined from the DTW tool, double check the following:
- Check your tow vehicle ratings and make sure you are not towing over the weight capacity.
- Check that all measurements and the tongue weight without the spring arms attached were inputted correctly into the DTW tool to ensure you have the correct DTW.
The DTW should be about 2-3 times more than the original tongue weight of the trailer. If this is not so, something must be wrong. Please contact our Customer Support team so we can look further into resolving this for you.
Along with the original Heavyweight version, the all new Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch – Middleweight is a part of the True Tow family, measuring vehicular tongue weight and providing exact measurement and force needed to accurately redistribute weight across your towing platform. It also boasts the simplest and quickest installation process in the industry and comes in various drop lengths to fit any and all trailers! Check out our DTW Calculator
BUILT-IN SCALE
A built-in scale to measure both tongue weight to ensure 10-15% of GTW and distributed tongue weight to truly give you a distributed towing system.
LIVE ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
A live adjustment system built into the head assembly with an internal pivot point for quicker and easier installation. With the ability for anytime adjustment, this feature will save you a significant amount of time.
EASY HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

DTW TOOL
DTW (Distributed Tongue Weight) tool application for smartphones (android and IOS) or available on our website to set up the highly accurate distributed system. This tool outputs a DTW that the Weigh Safe gauge on the hitch will read when distributed correctly.
TRUE DISTRIBUTION
Truly distributes the tongue weight of the trailer between the back axle of the tow vehicle, and the axle(s) of the trailer and returns the lost weight off the front axle. This provides a safer and smoother ride.
ANTI-SWAY HITCH
Provides anti-sway friction areas that help reduce sway caused by wind or passing vehicles. These areas reside in the sway bar connection points in the head assembly and the trailer bracket connection points. The hitch head assembly, spring arms and trailer brackets are all vital components to aid in reducing trailer sway.
The True Tow™ Weight Distribution Hitch – Middleweight can be easily interchanged between different tow vehicles and trailers so you can put trailer brackets on as many trailers as you want!
