CURT 17062 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch (8-10K)

The CURT 17062 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch is designed to provide a stable, level towing experience by redistributing tongue weight across your tow vehicle and trailer. Perfect for travel trailers and popup campers, this hitch ensures a more controlled and smoother ride for your heavy-duty towing needs.

Product Description

When towing heavy loads, maintaining balance is essential for safety and comfort. The CURT 17062 MV weight distribution hitch utilizes heavy-duty, formed steel components to manage trailer weight effectively. Designed for trailers rated up to 10,000 lbs, this system excels at keeping your vehicle level, preventing "sagging" at the rear of your tow vehicle. A unique highlight is the integrated grease zerk fittings, which allow for continuous, easy lubrication of the spring bar mounting points, reducing wear and extending the life of your equipment. Built with forged steel spring bars and a durable carbide powder coat finish, this hitch provides the long-term reliability required for frequent towing adventures.
