I'm going to call Northwood tomorrow to see if that dry hitch weight is a mistake. My current WD setup is good for 1500lbs and I would really like to not buy a new WD hitch BUT I will if it's even close. What I don't want to (or have to) do is buy a new receiver setup that is more capable then the factory receiver. For crying out loud - the factory hitch is a class V 1800lbs setup. I would hate to think that Desert Fox runs 20% at full 13000lbs on the ball. That's an awful lot of weight riding up front. :(
