CURT (17501): TruTrack Trunnion Bar Weight-Distribution System

Unlike many weight distribution hitches, which achieve compatibility through a sway-control attachment, the TruTrack system from CURT integrates the sway-control function into the design of the hitch itself to deliver a smooth, safe ride.

A unique spring and cam system accumulates pressure to actively stop sway—and then relaxes to make smooth turns. Like all weight-distribution hitches, the 17501 uses a pair of spring bars to leverage the trailer tongue weight and spread it across all axles of the vehicle-trailer combination; however, instead of using spring bar chains, the TruTrack connects to the trailer frame via adjustable, heavy-duty support brackets that hold the spring bars in place laterally and vertically. This design resists the side-to-side movement common to regular spring bars to help maintain trailer alignment.

TruTrack offers the same great quality as CURT’s other weight-distribution hitches, with the addition of hardened cam components that are less subject to wear. CURT stands behind this product with a 10-year limited warranty.
