New Advanced Weight Distribution Hitch

New CURT TruTrack WD System Ensures a Safe, Smooth Ride

April 2015 Products Web Exclusive

CURT Manufacturing, LLC., has introduced the new TruTrack, an advanced form of the trunnion bar weight distribution hitch. Combining precise load equalization and active sway control, TruTrack uses three key components: adjustable support brackets, a spring and cam system, and interlocking head tilt adjustment.

TruTrack connects to the trailer frame using a pair of trunnion-style spring bars and heavy-duty, adjustable support brackets. These support brackets are adjustable and hold the spring bars in place, laterally and vertically. While regular spring bars angle from side to side as the trailer rounds a corner, the active sway control arms resist this movement, keeping the trailer aligned with the tow vehicle and stopping trailer sway before it starts.

TruTrack's active sway control originates from the unique way the spring bars attach to the head. Most WD hitches uses pins or bolts. While effective, this method offers nothing in the way of sway control. TruTrack integrates a special spring and cam system thst builds up pressure to stop sway and then relaxes to make smooth turns. The hardened components of this system are less subject to wear and last longer than competitor models. The cam system also has a hex castle nut for easy adjustment to fit most industry-standard couplers.

Finally, setup of the CURT TruTrack is easy. While other weight distribution hitches use a series of washers, a pin and guesswork to find the proper tilt, TruTrack uses a pair of interlocking nuts and six preset holes to give specific angles of tilt and a simpler method of adjustment. Unlike most other WD hitches that require you to partially disassemble the hitch head to make an adjustment, the interlocking nuts of TruTrack can easily be accessed on the outside of the head.
