Weight Distribution Hitch recommendations?

[GrumpyOldPizza]

Looking for a recommendation for a WDH for a Ranger Raptor (yes, I know the manual says "not needed"). My tongue weight starts to get into the 600 lbs range, so I would like to balance this out via a WDH.

Trailer is a Sol Horizon / Sol Dusk, Rover, so problem is the front layout limiting the selection of WDHs (image of the web, not my trailer, and not my vehicle).

Not towed with the Ranger, but a WDH is a WDH. We used the R6 Recurve on all of our campers and were very pleased with them. I'll never tow anything other than a utility trailer without a WDH.

From the looks of it, the WDH part that attaches to the trailer might be able to fit in-between the tubes on that shelf. I can measure mine when I get home and see how wide they are.

Would be cool to hear. That is a CURT ?

TFL guys have used one of these for a few larger loads.

Yeah, saw that. I am not a too big fan of their scales, they seem imprecise at the lower end and focus more on way heavier loads.

In general I was more after "I tried that and it did not work,because of ..." or "I tried that and it was great, because of ...". At the end of the day, I can look up all the products myself, and/or watch youtube. But that does not help a lot, because tow vehicles are different, and what works for a F-150 Tremor (or Tacoma) does not naturally work well with a F-150 Raptor or Ranger Raptor. Different suspension, different wheel base, different tow ball hight ...

Maybe I just drive over to the TFL shed down the road and ask them "can I try this quickly" ;-)
