Hi all,
Been looking at travel trailers, and there's one concept I can't seem to wrap my brain around.
The tow vehicle is a Ford Expedition w/ factory tow package (2" receiver, 7 pin harness).
Rated for 5,000lbs, or 7,500lbs with weight distribution.
What I don't understand, is to be able to tow 7,500lbs, do I need a new receiver and hitch, or just the hitch?
If it's just the hitch (tongue & ball), with the same receiver, how does that "distribute" anything? Does the hitch attach to other points of the tow vehicle's frame?
I'm a little confused.
Thanks!
