Re: Hitch me up - trailering question
Reese makes the parts I was originally going to user, unfortunately the local shop does not have them in stock.
However, they do have equivalents from Draw-Tite. Solid stainless steel "stinger" rated for 12K, 2 5/16" ball rated for 10 or 12K. I originally ordered a 4" drop, but I think that may be too much. I'll see if I can get a 2" version. I didn't know about the 18" rule of thumb, that will be handy.

Re: Hitch me up - trailering question
dockrocker, read through the thread sidwayz just posted it has a lot of good info, in order to pull 10k legally you would need a weight distributing setup. I just went and checked mine it's a class V hitch rated for 15k but if you don't have the weight distribution setup (and I don't) it's only rated for 6k weight carrying .
