I've looked everywhere, and can't find an answer to my question, so sorry if its repetitive:
I have a 2018 F150 w 2.7 Ecoboost w 3.75 . I want to tow a 5-6K trailer, but the hitch limit is 500lb. Would a WDH allow me to increase the PIN weight at all? Safely?

 

Crawl under and check the label. Usually 2 ratings, one for just dropping the trailer on the ball and the second when you use a WDH

 

Excellent! I will do that tomorrow! Thank you
wait...where is the label?

 

on the receiver hitch

 

Thank you for your help! Got it! It's increased to 1,160.

 

You're golden on tow rating as your minimum is 8100lb, I doubt you'll exceed that unless it's a toy hauler. Appears you just need to confirm you've got enough payload.
