Hitch Rating. 16K, 18K, 20K, or 24K
Destroyed my Husky 16K in an accident and need a new hitch. (Pretty much squashed it flat and bent the rails hitting a railroad tie at 65mph.) My Cedar Creek Silverback has a dry weight of about 12,50...

Driving down the road at about 65mph. Guy in front of me swerves to miss something in the road. I had traffic on both sides of me so I ran over a rail road tie-sized piece of timber laying across my lane. After the rear axle, hitch and pin went up and then down, the rails were bent up, the horizontal safety pins were U-shaped and the hitch was a bit squashed. Damned lucky everything stayed together and no one was hurt.
Dang. Hard to imagine both truck and trailer were not totaled after hitting something like that at 60.
