Pullrite 2600 with the big boys
I just ordered a pullrite 2600 which is rated for 20k . Search has brought up a few reviews threads on this hitch, and it seemed like everyone was happy. However it may not be an apple/apples comparis...

28k trailer and only 5k pin is VERY odd. B&W Puck Hitch for RAM is 25k and 6,250# pin that is exactly 25% of max trailer. My RV weighs 24k with a 6k pin that is 25%. I would be overloaded on the BD5 model???
I can't speak for him, but the percentage isn't odd at all. Different trailer layouts optimize for different things.
Here are the weights directly from the factory for my 2021 381m (UVW with propane: 15,242, Hitch weight:2,848)
I have measured my pin weight with just a few added things but far from fully loaded and the pin weight was 2900. Multiple forum members on multiple forums report pin weights of around 3,100 at 19k lb when carrying things in the garage.
After alot of research before buying my 381m, I found that the "rule of thumb" is exactly that. A rudimentary rule of thumb that refers mostly to 5th wheel travel trailers, not all trailers and especially not some 5th wheel toy haulers.
