    Curt TRUTRACK 4P 8-10K big enough?

    Hi all, I am really interested in the Curt Trutrack 4P 8-10k hitch due to being able to leave the head and bars attached to the trailer. My concern is it only being rated for 10k. My trailer has a hitch weight of 965lbs and a UVW of 8,143 lbs and GVWR of 9,765 lbs. . I also have a 2.5” receiver...

    Weight Distribution Hitch and Unibody

    Just had a hitch installed on my brand new tow vehicle that is unibody construction. The hitch place (which specializes in hitches and presumably knows what they’re talking about) strongly recommends against weight distribution hitch because of potential severe damage to the unibody vehicle...

    Hitch Locks

    What's the consensus of using a lock on the receiver and drop bar where the towbar connects to the RV? Historically, I've been a 5th wheel guy and our motorhome with toad offers some unanswered questions. My exact question would be has anybody experienced theft of a towbar stored on their...

    Tail gates and tongue jacks

    I'm sure this has been discussed but I'm new here. Love the new trailer so far! But spent 3 hours removing warning and other stickers. I'm m sure they must have to put them on but couldn't they make them removable? And it is pretty sad that no one in the industry has changed the design of their...

    Removing Hitch from Truck Bed

    I’d like to occasionally use my truck bed. I’d rather not have to get a lift. Does anyone use the 5th wheel to lift the hitch off of the bed? Mine is a B&W Companion slider hitch weighing 267 lbs. The king pin no doubt handles much greater stress than this when pulling the 5th wheel. If I...

    Tongue damage?

    After getting home I'm a little concerned about the angle of the tongue to the frame. I attempted to take the photo as flat to the frame as I could, and as perpendicular to the trailer as possible. The angle I measured is around 1.3° different if the software I used as an angle-finder...

    2008 sunseeker 3100 ss hitch capacity

    Hi it seems from the threads that the 2008 sunseeker e450 chassis was rated at 5000 pounds to tow, but got upgraded to 7500 in the mid 2010s. My question is, is it actually an upgraded hitch? Or should I be fine to tow more than 5k with the existing? Some have beefed up, but has any 5k...

    Hitch Question

    Our 2024 F-350 dually came optioned with Ford's OEM 35k hitch. I've only towed our new 5th wheel once and we had a really difficult time getting disconnected from our TV. At the time I assumed it was because we didn't know what we were doing since this is our first 5th wheel but today I wanted...

    Issue of frame damage cause by weight distribution hitch

    I use an Equal-i-zer brand WDH and anti-sway hitch. I've recently read several stories about the WDH, when going over inclines like a step entrance into a gas station or rough roads, causing enough stress between the tow vehicle and the trailer frame to cause the trailer frame to bend. I've seen...
