Weight Distribution Hitch for SLX 236TH

[fredlef100]

Hi - I am just in the process of purchasing a 2025 Jayco Flight SLX 236TH. The dealer recommended (and convinced me to include in the contract) a Blue Ox WDH. I am towing with a 2023 Chevy Tahoe - Diesel engine. I am trading in a Class A on this TT. I've seen some youtube videos with broken hitch frame from weight distribution hitches - although so far haven't seen one with Jayco. ChatGPT has told me that weight distribution hitches are specifically not recommended for the SLX line of travel trailers although I can't find any reference that supports this (ChatGPT has been known to be wrong) - and the manual mentions weight distribution hitches but nothing about not using them. Any thoughts on this appreciated and thanks

You'll be pulling a 28' TT weighing over 5000lbs dry and without any of your stuff. Doesn't look like full specs are available yet. I pull a SLX 261BHS with my ram 1500 & BlueOx WDH. I'm sure if you really crank it down you can damage your camper and truck. Follow BlueOx recommended settings for the weight you will be towing.

Thanks for this. I'm glad to hear it reinforces my decision.
