CURT 17052 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Integrated Lubrication

Ensure a level, smooth towing experience with the CURT 17052 Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch. Engineered for heavy-duty applications, this system effectively redistributes tongue weight for safer, more stable towing between your vehicle and trailer.

Product Description

The CURT 17052 is a professional-grade weight distribution hitch designed for trailers ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 lbs GTW. It solves the common issue of sagging rear ends and uneven weight distribution by spreading the tongue weight across the entire length of the tow vehicle and trailer. Built with a heavy-duty, formed steel head and forged steel spring bars, this hitch provides the durability needed for demanding travel trailers and popup campers. A standout feature is the integrated grease zerk fittings, which simplify maintenance by allowing for continuous lubrication at the spring bar mounting points.
