How much sag on truck should I expect with a jet ski trailer?

[IRONDOME]

I am debating how much drop I need for a 24 Raptor R. Looking to get the B&W Tow and Stow, I measured a 24 Raptor on 37” and got 24.75” from ground to inside top of hitch receiver. Should I go with 3” drop, or 5” drop?

Welcome to FRF. Please post pictures of said prius that you want to tow with.

How heavy is your trailer? 1 jet ski shouldn't make your truck sag.

Park your trailer on flat ground. Measure the trailer front and back to level it out. Then measure for your hitch drop. You want to tow your trailer level.

Haven’t got it yet, but wanted to get the hitch trailer ahead. I am guessing the 24 with 37” I measured should be the same height. I really like the 3” drop version, but not sure it will be enough

That you, Kenny Powers?
Get the 3", jet skis don't weigh anything and it's a short trailer.

I am leaning towards the 3”. But it will seat at about 21.57” in the lowest position, trailer coupler (bottom end) from ground is 18”. Will it make the trailer nose up? Hard to believe trailer will make any sag on truck

My prius doesnt even sag towing my standups

I had to google "tow and stow" hitch. If your worried, get the 5" and adjust up as needed. If you want to save some money, get a 3" and 5" fixed units for less $$. You're overthinking this.

You're overthinking this.

And asking the same question twice

Best drop for B&W Tow and Stow?

Hi Everyone. New to the forum and the truck community, wanted to see what are your opinions on the B&W Tow and Stow trailer hitch. Also what is the right drop to go with 24 Raptor R, and what is the height of hitch receiver from ground to top (inside receiver) ?

I wouldn't invest in anything until I had actual numbers. I have (hopefully) learned to stop buying shit for the truck I don't have as something ALWAYS seems to change...

Wait until you have the truck in hand and can measure correctly.
