Hi RV Folks,
Finally upgraded to a TT after years in pop-ups, it looks like I may need an antisway/weight distribution hitch based on seeing the front of our Ram 1500 lift in towing it home from the dealer. The Ram has listed tow capacity of 7,370 lbs with trailer specs as follows:
Hitch Weight: 630 lb.
UVW: 5,062 lb
GVWR: 7,000 lb.
Our Canadian Costco sells only the Husky model 32218 hitch for loaded trailer weights of 8,000 - 12,000 lbs and tongue weights 800 - 1,200 lbs. More than I need but it sells for almost $200 less than other retailers sell the model 32217 that is more appropriate for our TT.
So my question is if there may be problems using this over-capacity hitch for our rig?
Thanks kindly,
Karsten
