Rapid Hitch
 
1 Attachment(s)
This hitch is rated for 1500 pounds tongue weight and 10,ooo pounds trailer GVWR. Does Rapid Hitch under rate their capacities, or should I play it safe and go to a steel hitch?

Would the factory Dodge hitch receiver work OK, then I just find the stronger drawbar and ball? I really like the Rapid Hitch but I think I'm exceeding the weight limits by a few thousand pounds. Time to make a change before something bad happens.

16000 pounds towing capacity. I'll just upgrade the hitch and ball. Really liked that Rapid Hitch :mad:

The hitch, receiver, and ball is one area I'd not skimp on. You can buy and install a Titan V (or other true Class 5) for around $400.
