Weigh Safe Drop Hitch With Built-In Scale 2.5" Shank

Weigh Safe Drop Hitch With Built-In Scale 2.5" Shank

You found it. The one and only. The original. The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is THE trailer hitch with a built-in scale that helps you dial-in an optimal tongue weight. The result is a much safer and enjoyable towing experience - all while reducing wear and damage risk to tires, wheel bearings, suspension components and drivetrain of both trailer and tow vehicle. 

With Weigh Safe’s built-in scale, measuring your tongue weight is as easy as coupling your trailer to your ball mount. Hook-up your trailer to the Weigh Safe ball mount just as you would any other ball mount, and your trailer's weight will push down on the hitch ball. Then, an internal hydraulic piston presses down on a reservoir of oil, which then sends a reading the the hitch's built-in scale. The Weigh Safe gauge accuracy is an impressive 1.25% +/- (50lb +/-) over the full weight range of the scale.
