I have a 16,000 lb. Pin wt. 4000 max Reese hitch and would like to upgrade my 5th wheel to a model that has a total weight of 14,600 all in, is this getting to close for the hitch capacity ??
If your pin wieght isn't over the hitch rating, it's fine. Most 5th wheels are 20-25% of the total weight for the hitch weight, so it's probably fine but better to verify.
If it wasn't good for 16000/4000, they wouldn't have rated it for that.
