A weight distribution hitch is a towing accessory designed to evenly distribute the weight of a trailer across the towing vehicle and the trailer itself. This helps improve stability and control while driving, especially when carrying heavy loads. By redistributing the weight, it reduces the risk of swaying and enhances braking performance. These hitches typically consist of a set of spring bars and a hitch head that connects to the towing vehicle's receiver. Proper installation and adjustment are crucial for optimal performance, ensuring that both the towing vehicle and the trailer handle safely on the road.
