Hypothetical SUV towing travel trailer with 1200 lb tongue weight Question / clarification: Without weight distribution hitch - back of truck goes down and front of truck goes up. With weight...
Basically, the weight distribution hitch transfers weight across the whole vehicle. Acts as a leverage point to send some of the tongue weight towards the front of the vehicle.
Not affected by airbags since the hitch is attached to the frame. The airbags push down on the rear axle to raise the rear of the SUV up.
