B&W Continuum Weight Distribution Hitch Game Changer | Install & Setup Ram 2500 Towing Impressions

This is the second truck I have setup the B&W Continuum hitch on to pull our Travel Trailer. I am very impressed with the ease of use with this hitch setup as well as the adjustability. I believe this could be a game changer for weight distribution.

Have you used the middleweight? Trying to decide between the two😊

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I have not. I heard it wasn’t made in the us any longer and I wanted an adjustable shank. For ease of using with multiple trailers

I was really looking forward to your review on this. I'm really impressed and overall like your review. Thanks for sharing. Keep us updated on this long term.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

thanks for watching and your comments, I am pumped about this...way easier to use than anything I have used in the past...stay tuned for more reviews!

Seems maxed out for that trailer. Good to see the review. Probably going to get that hitch for a smaller 1/2 ton sized trailer.

Thanks for watching!

How does the sway control work if you grease the shaft that goes through the hitch???

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I’m trying to figure that out too. I will have more information on this soon!

I currently have a Weigh-Safe Middleweight wdh and I’m thinking about buying the B&W Continuum instead. I went on two trips with my Weigh-Safe hitch and on both trips, the built-in scale broke and just zeroed out. I believe I heard you mention that you had a Weigh-Safe wdh hitch before this one? Did you have similar issues? All I see are positive reviews for both of these hitches, yet my current hitch has proven to be unreliable for me. What made you switch to this hitch?

I had the heavy weight model before which unfortunately WS no longer makes. I also did have my WS scale break in my drop down hitch as well.

I like the light weight an easy hook up of this hitch setup. Curious if you end up liking it

@@CTECH-REVIEW Well, I just placed my order so I’ll update you once I get it installed and get around to testing it out. I’m going to place a warranty claim with Weigh-Safe to have them replace the scale and I’ll probably just keep that hitch as a backup. The only 2 concerns I have with the continuum is if the hydraulic fails that will make it useless (at least with the weigh safe, you can still use the hitch if the scale breaks…you just won’t be able to use the scale to dial it in). The second concern is that I store my trailer on the side of my house and my driveway is sloped. I have to back blind side and uphill. Worried about having too much pressure on the frame of the trailer if I don’t adjust anything prior to backing it in, but also concerned that it’ll bottom out if I release the pressure. Lol

@@CTECH-REVIEW WS has a new version of the heavyweight now. It looks more like the middleweight

[@gabesolms]

How do you think this would compare to a shocker air equalizer type hitch?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I am not familiar with that one. I will have to look into it. So far this is the easiest hitch I have used. I like that a lot. Thank you for the comment.

You won't have the proper weight back on the front axle until you scale the truck at a Cat scale. The whole idea of a WD hitch is to restore the weight to the front axle. Typically 20-25% goes back on the trailer axles about 70-80% to the front axle of the tow vehicle. Restoring the braking and steering control. 50% is not enough back on the front axle.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thank you for the comment!

[@justinreven5230]

@@raylaux8295 while you are correct about the weight, all manufacturers have different requirements for weight distribution adjustments. I was always under the impression that you wanted 100% restoration back to the front until I saw someone talk about this on KZbin and then read my owners manual which confirmed it. When I read my owners manual, it had me use the same method that he used in this video. It stated that you should take the difference of the two measurements, divide that number by two and then add the measurement of the empty weight. For example; if the measurement of the truck empty (H1) is 1030 mm and the measurement of the truck loaded (H2) is 1058 mm, you subtract the two (H2-H1) which equals 28 mm. Then you devide that number by 2 which equals 14 mm. Then you add 14 mm to H1 which will equal 1044 mm, and according to my owners manual, that is where I should be for my particular truck. So, the formula for my truck is (H2-H1)/2 + H1. I believe that equates to 50% restoration back to the front axle. I know everyone will have mixed opinions about this, but this is just what I read in my owners manual.

[@justinreven5230]

@@raylaux8295 I do believe though that you are correct about getting it weighed. All these measures mean nothing if it’s not actually moving the weight.

[@raylaux8295]

@@justinreven5230 So the Mfg. wants 50% min. back on the front. But ideally 100% should be transferred back. In my experience that is exactly the result. If you don't they allow that.

You keep pulling in overdrive and you’ll see the nightmares of the 68rfe lock 6th out and get a thermobypass to keep the transmission cool and you’ll lessen the chances of problems with the 68

So far I have never seen the trans temp go above 171 towing, most the time its 167 range. I am used to my powestrokes where trans temp towing is at like 205-215.
