A weight distribution hitch system has a head and a horn which are readily separable. The horn is attachable to the towing vehicle. Forward of the hitch ball, the head includes a downwardly projecting hook portion. The head defines a head hitch pin opening spaced from the hook portion, and the mating interaction between the hook portion and the rest recess allow the horn hitch pin opening to be aligned relative to the head hitch pin opening to allow insertion of a hitch pin to complete the hitching connection. Two snap-up brackets are attached to the trailer frame and used to lift the weight distribution spring bars each using a handle. The head with its hitch ball and weight distribution spring bars as well as the snap-up brackets can be left attached to the trailer frame even when not being towed.
