Ok, I determined I need one for my purposes, just not sure which one to get.

2009 Jeep wrangler on 18 foot trailer. Approx 6500 pounds give or take a few hundred.

What I am towing with: 2011 F150 with 5.0L.

Hitch says 500 pounds 5000 pounds carry and and 1100 hundred TW 12000 weight distribution approx.

Which should I get:

400-800 TW

Or 600 to 1200 TW

The second one is the one Im using with my TT. Its a good unit. As far as what weight you need its hard for us to say, you need to determine the tongue weight you will be working with.

 

I suggest getting the 2nd one.

 

You need to figure out your tongue weight as that will dictate what weight of bars to get.

I would reccomend Reese Duel cam WDH with trunnion bars. I would venture to say that you will be using the heavier bars.

 

I have this 1 if u want it - Pro Series RB2 Round Bar Weight Distribution trailer Hitch Shank & BALL /14,000 lbs GTW V-5 Rating This is a brand new hitch I bought for a 6000lbs Gulf Stream we never used
