The CURT TruTrack 4P Weight Distribution Hitch is a light-duty trunnion-bar weight distribution system with fully integrated 4-point active sway control, rated for trailers with a gross trailer weight (GTW) of 5,000 to 8,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 800 lbs. Designed for campers, car haulers, livestock trailers, and other heavy-duty towed loads, this hitch delivers confident, stable towing in a single, streamlined unit.
Integrated 4-Point Sway Control:
Unlike standard weight distribution hitches that require a separate sway control add-on, the TruTrack 4P integrates sway resistance directly into the hitch design. Sway is countered at four distinct points — two within the head and two at the spring bar support brackets — keeping the trailer tracking straight without sacrificing smooth cornering. A spring and cam system builds pressure to actively resist lateral trailer movement, then relaxes to allow natural, fluid turns.

The adjustable support brackets hold the trunnion spring bars in place both laterally and vertically — eliminating the unpredictability of traditional spring bar chains. Setup is simplified by externally accessible interlocking nuts and six preset tilt-angle positions, making this one of the fastest weight distribution hitches to install and adjust on the market. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the CURT 17499 TruTrack 4P is built for dependable, long-lasting towing performance.
