Q: on tue 7 jun 2005 124630 -0600 nathan w. collier montanajeeper@aol.com wrote my 7x18 enclosed trailer came in and i was really surprised to see that while dodge rates my 01.5 2500 cummins to pull nearly 13000 pounds they put a hitch on it rated for only 5000 pounds. this makes no sense to me....is this a liability thing or is it really only capable of pulling 5000 pounds on a standard non-distributing hitch also please see http//utilityoffroad.com/forum/topic.asptopicid=4364 and take a look at the adjustable hitch i bought. i was a bit reluctant because its made of aluminum but i was assured by the shop owner that although he sold more expensive hitches that this was the strongest one he carried. anybody have any experience with these my sticker from my 04.5 cummins says class iv hitch so im not concerned about that one. i just dont know why they would put such a light receiver on the 01.5. nate.. assuming that the 5000 pounds is tongue weight that sounds like a lot of tongue weight youre very safe... considering that average tongue weight is10 to 15% of the trailer weight... like the bumper of my old mazda pickup said do not exceed 200 pounds towing weight.. they sure didnt mean total trailer weight.. lol mac please remove splinters before emailing .
