why does the item in the picture have a 12,000lb sticker on it if its a 10,000lb hitch. I need this but dont want a lower rating than whats listed.

Both are old pictures and out of date information for this product. The 21332 has a 16,000 lbs. gvw rating and 2,400 lbs. tw.

I have no idea. I bought mine and realized that I needed more drop so I immediately returned it and got a different brand. I would consult the factory on that one.

Class 3 and 4 hitch will handle 10,000 lbs. but this ball mount will handle what it is rated at 12,000 lbs. So it is rated to handle more than what those hitches are rated. This is a nice heavy duty ball mount. Hope this helps answer your question.

It's either class III or off road use only. Mine was class III but read somewhere that it was off road use only. I've pulled on it with a shackle hitch and bent the factory bumber mount, the hitch was fine on the bumper though

It is my understanding that if you use the optional Super Rail Kit it is rated at 16k, I bought these and the install was amazingly "Clean and Easy". I have only used mine a few times but it seems you will get the full travel promised. Nice hitch, Buy the Super Rail Kit if you can

Check Reese's website, but this is clearly at least a class III. Heavy duty. And it bolts both to the bumper, which is already rated at 5,000 pounds, plus it bolts onto the factory crossmember.

I understand your confusion. Something is definitely fishy. I bought mine in January 2013 and got 3 packages of 12 for a total of 36 hangers. Either they were mispriced when I bought them or they are mispriced now. Note that when I bought mine, the product description was, ""Merrick Engineering C8631A-SHW12 Heavy Duty Tubular Hanger Pk/3 (Pack of 12)". Like I said, something is fishy. For what it's worth, I'm happy with the quality and am satisfied with receiving 36 for $31.99. But there's no way I would pay that for only 12 though.

I would get on to the company if I were you. We have attached our hitch and it is working fine but it has been on there for a long time and we do not have the instructions anymore. See if they can give you something clearer.

Was installed on my 2000 jeep wrangler. The hitch exceeded the limits on the jeep. Was super well constructed. 5000 pound if I remember

This does not come with the hitch ball. I have copied and pasted the following from the manual. NOTICE Using a hitch ball with a shank longer than 2-3/8" may damage the Equal-i-zer hitch head and could void your warranty. Select a ball with a 1-1/4" diameter threaded shank no longer than 2-3/8". Hitch balls with a longer shank may damage the hitch. You need to buy the ball in addition to the hitch. I bought the equalizer brand ball knowing that this would come with the proper length shank. http://www.amazon.com/Equal-i-zer-91006120-Hitch-Ball/dp/B007HRKBNK/ref=pd_sim_auto_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BMC88HGHRC0K1BSMRYN I hope this helps! Also, if your asking about the ball size, again it doesn't come with one, so you can get the size you need. One thing to remember, is the ball is rated for weight just like the hitch. This hitch your asking about is rated at 12000 LBS, so make sure the ball is rated the same. (I noticed at wally world the balls were only rated at 6000 LBS.)

I don't know the specific trailer load rating, but this thing is stout. It comes with 4 brackets to attach it to the frame in addition to where it bolts directly, I think 12 bolts holding it to the frame all told. It has more contact points than any trailer hitch I've seen.

The items states:Fits Standard 2" Receiver4.75 tons weight rating (9,500 lbs.)I think the real concern would be the weight limit of the trailer hitch of where you would be installing it based on its class.Hope this helps.

The listing pictures must be stock photos and not specific to the model. I ordered on for mid-size truck and it did not come with forward most cross bar. It lists this in the material list and shows it on the box, however it was not there. I found out that only the "FULL SIZE" rack comes with this bar. I made one and it works fine...I do like the product and it was easy to install. I like the aluminum construction because I live and work the Gulf Coast with salty air and rust is an issue with steel. I would call customer service to be sure you are getting what you SEE with the model you are ordering.Overall....satisfied. The listing pictures must be stock photos and not specific to the model.

It is a "S" rated tire which means Standard Load, pretty much the equivalent of a 4 ply rating. It is meant for lighter vehicles, not for heavier trucks.

I can also respond to those looking to buy the 4100 series hitch (16k pound). I never even put the velcro pieces on. The side channels hold it on perfectly even doing 80 down the interstate. I've had it on my truck for a year now and it still looks good as new. My truck sits outside and gets all the weather thrown at it. This cover is certainly worth the money!!

this is an extremely heavy, well made hitch. Just be aware that it will move your connection point out away from your truck. We were going to use it with a 4" drop to get the total 12" we needed. When this was installed on the truck, then the 4" drop, the electrical connection cords and chains would not reach

I BELIEVE IT IS A CLASS II HITCH (2" RECEIVER).Make sure the hitch is rated for the amount of VERTICAL weight needed!

Hello Jeff.This hitch pin is rated at 10,000 lbs for a load rating. If you are seeking a higher rated pin, use keyword RH5-XL instead. Bert CampRigid Hitch Amazon Sales

I don't have them anymore so not exactly sure but that sounds about right. My big concern was that they are not rated to 5k like the said. It is stamped on each one at 1.8k each or something like that. Not strong enough for my trailer.
