You also need to be aware of tongue weight; People forget about that one as well...

You were posting this as I was answering

I am confused now

You're saying I don't need to add anything like the Class 4, but to go with the factory installed hitch that is rated up to 5000 lbs?

Thank you. Checking on that now, I think I can find it??

Still searching, may have to ask the trailer company. I did see that axle weight was 7000 if that means anything


I found something from my dealer from an old post saying that the tongue weight would be 490? I don't know what that means though

Let's start here. Does your truck have one of these?

Is this a one time pull? Sounds like you may me gearing up for horse shows.

Also, do not buy a new hitch, the factory one will do everything the truck is capable of.

I was thinking the same thing, hopefully she can post a pic of the door sticker.
