Why get a Weigh Safe Drop Hitch?

The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is the one and only trailer hitch with a
built-in scale that signals you to adjust your load before you hit the
road, resulting in a much safer and enjoyable towing experience. Before
this ball mount, gauging your trailer's tongue weight was a hassle. You
had to rely on inefficient bathroom scales, make a trip to the weigh
station, or purchase a separate tongue weight scale. But with the Weigh
Safe's built-in scale, measuring your tongue weight is as easy as
coupling your trailer to your ball mount. Simply hook-up your trailer to
the Weigh Safe ball mount just as you would any other ball mount. The
weight of your trailer will push down on the hitch ball, which in turn
pushes down on an internal hydraulic piston that sits on a bed of oil.
When the piston drops into the oil, the pressure reading is sent out to
the scale.

What is tongue weight and why is it important?

Tongue weight (TW) refers to the weight that the fully loaded trailer
exerts downward on the hitch ball of the tow vehicle. Tongue weight is
typically 10 percent -- and should not exceed 15 percent -- of your
gross trailer weight. For example, a 10,000-lb trailer should have a
tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. You can adjust the tongue
weight of your trailer by removing or adding cargo, or redistributing
the load on the trailer. The tongue weight should not exceed the
capacity of your tow vehicle, your hitch, or any of your towing
components. Simply put, too little tongue weight can cause
trailer sway and too much tongue weight can cause the tow vehicle to
perform poorly. You may have difficulty steering, gaining traction, or
braking when driving a setup that has too much weight pushing down on
the rear of the vehicle. Ultimately, towing with an improper tongue
weight can cause you to lose control of your vehicle or cause your
trailer to separate from the vehicle.
