Lol and Doh !

I bought a (beater) truck last year that had spent 4 years in NH. I had to throw out the whole damn hitch.

I use a class V curt hitch, with a solid forged 2'' drop draw bar. I also have a 2 5/16 forged ball, that is rated for 25k lbs. like this one

A big old bad azz hitch isnt any good if you're using a basic chrome style ball rated for 10k lbs max like this one.

This is drawbar I have. SO, I have a hitch rated for 16k lbs, a ball mount rated for 16k lbs, and a ball for 25k lbs. Pulling a trailer weighing 13-14k lbs.
