New hitch head or... Questions
So yesterday we went to pick up our new trailer and they were supposed to have ordered me a new Reese 20,000lb hitch. The whole thing slider rails and all but found out they only ordered me the head. Still hasn't been delivered.
So they let me use their hitch to get my trailer home and said the head should be in by Saturday.
But here is my question
Right now I have the Reese 15k pro slider hitch. The man in charge of service and all said the reason they ordered me just the head is the base is entirely the same except for the one we looked at had round slider rails.
He said to keep the rectangular rails and base as they are built better than the new ones.
Is the base the same on all their set ups and changing out the head is the way to go?
The base I have says it is rated for 3750lbs and the new trailer is 2250lbs plus extra when loaded.
They didn't have any hitches on the show room floor for me to compare and my friends all have 12k
