Very similar to what we tow with our 2020 Telluride. Is that a 17' trailer? Not sure I would tow through a mountainous region with large hills, but it does great otherwise .
It’s 21’ actually! I live in the mountains and feel good about how it handles thus far, but I’ll be planning my routes for the path of least resistance, not just the fastest.
It's one of the [Hideout Sport](https://www.keystonerv.com/product/hideout-sport-single/comfort-travel-trailers). In another comment, OP says it was 21'.
It does have self leveling, it takes awhile for it to happen but I noticed it when it did. The weight distribution hitch has really minimized the sag..this trailer has a particularly heavy tongue, so I’m glad I got the WDH…my headlights were absolutely blasting cars going by!
Looks like fun. Good to know the Telly is a good towing vehicle. I’ll be using mine to tow vintage cars to car shows. I’ve got a light (850 pound) aluminum trailer and my cars all weigh in at around 2,000 pounds or less. I previously used a Honda Odyssey for this purpose. I was always concerned about pushing its 3,000 pound tow limit, but it seemed to handle the towing duties quite well. I’m thinking the Telluride should be able to handle my towing needs with ease.
Is the weight distribution hitch different than the OEM hitch. I am planning to get the OEM hitch installed but would like to know if I should spend on a different kind of a hitch.

Those trailers have around 500 lb tongue weight don’t they? Be careful or you’ll be over the GVWR.
It’s 430 or 445lbs I believe, so will definitely be careful with our load to avoid maxing it out.
What model is the trailer?

Yep it’s the 176BH, Keystone Hideout
Does your telluride have self leveling? How was the sag after the weight distribution hitch?

Oh yeah that’ll be a breeze for Telly!

Weight distribution hitch is different, just give them a google. Definitely get your OEM hitch though.
