I think I posted about something on this site http://www.airsafehitches.com/receiver_hitches.html.  All these hitch's don't mean diddly because you still stick them into a 2 inch receiver.  That's going to make some jack wad think he can buy a 2500/30000 lb hitch and make his half ton truck tow a 30000 lb trailer.

lol and there's the funny part!  rofl your right there are soooo many of them out there too, that don't read the info or understand it on there site.  in order to do the job you have to buy the rest of the components they sell  like the stronger recievers. carl is right they still don't make a ball rated for more than 7k lbs and I don't see one advertised on either site where they have made the hitch accept a gooseneck ball that has a much larger shank for added strength. and the info they do provide is lacking in  more basic terms as well. the class 5 receiver is rated at 14k lbs gtw  but that is only with a  weight distribution or load leveler with it as I read it anyways. 2.5 " receiver and hitch on the larger lbs ones

here it is and who among us would like to pull this beast!! lol carl found this on gd.com and I read through the posts to see the 4 6k lb axles were the cheaper option over 3 8klbs axles so there are a few of these out there in quad axles. that would not be fun with truck and one post said the original owner used a f650 and still got a ticket for over length law!

I wouldn't want to tow that thing with anything less than a semi. Turning with 4 axles would grind some seriuos tire.....

A medium duty truck would be up to the task.

carl found that post with the ad in it over on gd.com and several of the posts there say it was no fun to tow very far so ya 4 axles would not be fun but the ones with 4 axles are the ones the customers cheaped out on cause there are several comments on the heavier 3 axle set up that was offered but more expensive.

Now all a guy has to do is find a way to raise the front and back axle when the speed gets below twenty or so.  So they would be up for a turn.   rofl

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.
