Re: Trucks, Trailers, Towing and Misc Accessories
Still looking for expert advice, experienced opinions on towing my open trailer with non equalizing ball mount/hitch.
Say my trailer weighs 1500lb and I have a 3500+ lb car on it. I'm now at or over the 5000# Weight limit placed upon many of the 2" receiver 2"(whatever) dropped ball mount and ball.
In looking at Etrailer.com (for example) I have noticed there are some 6000# Ball Mounts and 2" Balls with 1 1/4" Shanks rather than 1".
I've also seen forged ball mounts rated at 10,000GVW.....
These above questions are NOT for the 2 5/16" Balls and Load Equal Hitches, but your lighter duty typical boat trailer and flat bed trailer rigs
Please educate us wanting to learn, before we make a costly mistake.......
Thanks
