Rated for 1,500 pounds of tongue weight and 15,000 pounds gross, it ships with the shank and a pre-installed 2-5\/16 inch ball, so you're close to hooked up right out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your loaded trailer squats the back of your truck and lifts the front end, you already know why a weight distribution hitch matters. The Eaz-Lift TR3 spreads that tongue load back across the tow vehicle's front axle and the trailer axles, so the whole rig sits level. That means better steering, better braking, and headlights that point at the road instead of the treetops. It's rated up to 1,500 pounds of tongue weight and 15,000 pounds gross trailer weight, which covers most travel trailers, larger campers, and heavy tandem-axle trailers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TR3 is a trunnion-bar setup. The spring bars seat into the head from the side rather than hanging underneath, which gives you a little more ground clearance and a cleaner look at the coupler. Camco builds these under the Eaz-Lift name, and the TR3 is their chain-free design. No lift chains to hook, no snap-up brackets to fight with in a gravel lot. You seat the bars and you're set. For a lot of owners coming off an older chain-style hitch, that alone is worth the swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSway control is built right in. The TR3 uses an adjustable sway resistance system that you dial in with a single bolt, and it works independently of your tongue weight. Crosswinds, passing semis, a sudden lane change, that's when sway control earns its keep. Instead of the trailer wagging the truck, the friction damping at the head keeps everything tracking straight. There's brake pad material on the center spindle doing the work, so it stays quieter than the old steel-on-steel friction bars a lot of folks grew up with. And because the sway setting is separate from the load bars, you can fine-tune how much resistance you want without touching your level adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward if you've bolted up a hitch before. The shank comes in the box and slides into a standard 2-inch receiver. The 2-5\/16 inch ball is already mounted on the head, so you're not chasing a separate ball and torque wrench for that step. The TR3 works on both top-mount and bottom-mount coupler-style trailers, and the head adjusts for tilt so you can tune how aggressively the bars load up. Take your time setting the angle and the bar tension the first time. Measure your truck's fender height empty, hook up, then adjust the head until the front end drops back to about where it started. Get it dialed, mark your settings, and every hookup after that is quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone towing something big enough to unsettle the tow vehicle. If you're pulling a travel trailer, a bunkhouse, a toy hauler, or a heavy utility trailer and you feel the rear end sag or the steering go light, this is the fix. It's also a smart move if you tow at highway speeds or on windy interstate stretches where a bare ball hitch just doesn't feel planted. Match the hitch to your actual tongue weight though. Weight distribution works best when your loaded tongue weight lands in the bar's rated range, not way under it, so weigh your rig loaded the way you actually travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes. This is a weight distribution and sway system, not a brake controller, so you'll still want a proper controller for trailer brakes. And check your shank drop and rise against your truck's receiver height before you tow, because getting the head level is what makes the whole thing work. If your setup needs a taller or shorter shank position, the head bolts let you adjust, but confirm the geometry first. Do that homework once and the TR3 will tow flat, quiet, and steady for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrunnion-bar design seats the spring bars into the side of the head for added ground clearance and a cleaner coupler area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated up to 1,500 lb maximum tongue weight and 15,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in adjustable sway control dials in with a single bolt and works independently of tongue weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrake pad material on the center spindle keeps sway damping quieter than old steel friction bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChain-free hookup, no lift chains or snap-up brackets to wrestle with\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-installed 2-5\/16 inch hitch ball on the head, no separate ball to torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable shank included, fits a standard 2-inch receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks on both top-mount and bottom-mount coupler-style trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTilt-adjustable head lets you tune bar tension and how the load distributes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat's the towing capacity of the TR3?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's rated up to 1,500 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 15,000 pounds of maximum gross trailer weight.
