Stock class III hitch or new class IV hitch?
To my knowledge, all of our trucks come with only a class III receiver hitch (500 lb TW, 5000 lb GTW). Our trucks towing capacity is much higher (13,000 to 16,000 lbs). I’m looking at getting a Weekend Warrior FS3000 toy hauler pull trailer that has a 13,000 pound GVW (7,000 lbs dry) with a tongue weight in excess of 1,000 pounds. Even with a weight distribution hitch, can I safely pull this thing or do I need to upgrade to a class IV receiver?
Has anyone changed theirs out to a class IV and if so how difficult was it?
I know the Furd PS come with class IV hitches. Why does DC put only class III hitches on these things? Am I missing something?
