Okay, I am a little inexperienced when it comes to selecting a hitch and weight for our "as yet unselected" TT. I've got a 2005 Durango with a V-8. The GVWR is 6600 and the hitch capacity (as stated on the hitch itself) is 5000 with a 500 lb TW if a "load bearing" hitch is used, and 7500# with a 750# TW if a "load distributing" hitch is used. I am assuming since 7500# is over the 6600# GVWR of the TV I can't go that high. My question is this... How big can I go??? What hitch should I get?? Should I just get a MH and not worry about all of this??!! I've got a family of 5 and a dog so I need space, but I don't want to kill the Durango, nor do I want to be unsafe going down the road!
I read through some other threads about all of the different weight ratings, hitches, etc, and managed to confuse myself even more!
A little help from the veterans would be nice.
