Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch That's Quieter Than Typical Friction Sway Control Systems
Question:
Good afternoon, Looking for a weight distrubution hitch and cant decide what I should get. I dont want it to be noisy if possible. I am towing a 7x14 cargo trailer with approximately 600 pounds of tongue weight. Truck is a 2023 tundra trd pro. I regularly tow on potholed mountain roads so ground clearance would be a factor.

If you're looking for a great weight distribution hitch with sway control that isn't going to make a ton of noise like standard friction sway bars typically do then I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW0756.
This hitch is one of the easiest to install in use and since it utilizes chains instead of metal to metal contact for sway control it won't be noisy. The brackets simply clamp onto the top of the trailer tongue for a simple installation that requires no drilling.
When it comes to ground clearance there really isn't much of a noticeable difference between any of the brands when it comes to where the spring bars sit. The only issue you might run into is the size of the shank, but that's something you can swap out if you don't need a giant drop.
