Re: Newer clsss 5 truck hitch on a squarebody
Just as an FYI, but any hitch made for a 34" wide frame will work, that means a lot of Ferd frames, any GM cab chassis frame (dump trucks/service bodies with dual rear wheels)
Class 3 is normally plenty, rated at 10,000lbs but only 500 tongue weight, class IV is better at 1,000 lb tongue weight, 12,000lb max. Class V is a little overkill, but gives the best tongue weight at 1,600lb 16,000lbs max trailer.
I know several camper trailers that are less then 8,000lbs, but tongue weight stays around 750, just based on design. If you can, always opt for the higher rated hitch.
