Thanks. Only problem now is to unstick the turnover ball and get a new one. Just a little rusted for me.

Correct. Hitch rating not actual weight.

I have looked at a few 5ers but have not been looking at weight. Will start looking when I check the ads.

Is the hitch rated at 18K or is that what 5er weighs?

An 18klb 5'er is a big one. Your getting into custom territory there. Some toyhaulers max out in the 21-22 range but they need to be towed with an MDT

Yes. I have a dually. Probably will not need that much but want to make sure I am not limiting myself. Did not notice they have a 30k.

If you are referring to the B&W Companion Hitch then it should be fine if it's rated at over 18K. I see they have one rated at 30K (RVK3000) so it should be OK. You still nee four holes in the truck bed.

That's a really heavy 5Ver do you have a dual wheel truck?
