16 to 18 Fifth Wheel Hitch
Just went from 12gcw to a 15.5 gcw fifth wheel, should I upgrade my 16K fifth wheel hitch to a 18K hitch?:)

This is true as we have been pulling our 15,950 Lb. Gross 5er for the past 2 years with a 10 year old Husky 16K Hitch, which seemed matched since the MorRyde Pin Box is a 16K also.
We are looking to replace / upgrade our hitch since some of the component's are starting to rust pretty bad and show some signs of wear.
Our previous 5th Wheel was only about 10K Gross and previous TV was a 2500HD with the 16K Hitch, pretty good match.
Not much difference between a 16K and a 18K hitch but once you get over 20K they do get heaver / beefer.
Not much difference in cost either so we are looking at replacing ours with a Heaver Hitch, never know what the future will bring.
