CURT 17499 TruTrack 4P Weight Distribution Hitch with 4x Sway Control

The CURT 17499 TruTrack 4P is a high-performance weight distribution system engineered to combine precise load leveling with active, integrated sway control. Designed for heavy-duty towing applications, this system ensures a smoother, safer experience for campers, car haulers, and livestock trailers by effectively managing tongue weight and resisting lateral trailer movement.

Product Description

Unlike standard weight distribution hitches that require additional, separate sway control attachments, the CURT TruTrack 4P features sway control built directly into its architecture. It utilizes a sophisticated spring and cam system that builds pressure to actively counter sway while remaining flexible enough to allow for smooth turns. By using heavy-duty, adjustable support brackets instead of traditional chains, the TruTrack maintains a solid connection to the trailer frame, keeping the trailer perfectly aligned with your tow vehicle. This system is designed for ease of use, featuring an adjustable head that simplifies the leveling process without the guesswork common in other models.
