8,000# hitch on new E-450 Chassis
It has recently come to my attention that all new Thor Motorhomes on the E-450 chassis built after 10/01/2014 come equipped standard with an 8,000 pound receiver hitch instead of the 5,000 pound hitch...

The difference with the new hitches is the hanger arms have more bearing area against the frame vs the old 5k receivers. In other words, the bolt pattern is more spread apart, which puts less load on the mounting hardware.
