Hitch Extender
I bought a 14" hitch extender today as I was in a tight spot a couple of weeks ago and almost took out a tail light:) Turns out....the extender REDUCES tongue and tow weight by 50%. Makes sense...

I did say it was an expensive solution, though apparently not as much as the tail light you had to replace due to this issue.Huntindog wrote:#1nobby wrote:You cannot use a hitch extender with WD.

Makes sense....but I didn't even consider those physics
So....back it goes.
You CAN get a longer drawbar, and if it is used with WD, your weights are not reduced.... This will cost more, but may solve your issue
I'm not using a WD hitch. My trailer weighs 5000Lbs full and my truck self levels. I have 0 issues towing except for the space between truck and trailer.
IMO, the only thing to decide upon is how likely this is to happen again...
