Most any of the newer Dualley Trucks have the rating. Especially the 4500 series up. Look at the Freighliner Sport Chasis, Internationals, C4500/5500, F650 and several others that dont require a CDL and have the 26000 GVW rating.
Equipment and options can vary that though.
A "Tow Beast" receiver is rated to 25000 pounds with a 3" receiver tube. Fits most 34" frames, in bolt on and weld on models, and that is one of the only hitches I would use in that application.
I sit about 20000 loaded on the trailer.

The photo was taken after we reconnected the trailer to the truck. and after I got her home the 10,000 lb. 2 5/16 ball went right to the recycle bin and up it to a 30,000 lb. The F-450 4x4 6.4 liter does really well my driver said he barely use the pedal going up the boat ramp....even though I do help him with all three throttles if you know what I mean (help push the truck a little to get her going)

Call Gail Griffin or Tony Vick at Fountain Powerboats with your Hull number. They should be able to produce the weight when it was first manufactured. Published weight is always a little light....I am going to say around 14-15,000 lbs with a light load of fuel......If we can assist you with service or customization please call 252.561.6070 and check us out on facebook at Real Fast Marine......our website is under development.
