Hitches are typically rated for how much they can pull and how much tongue weight they can handle. In other words, you'll probably find a rating somewhere on the hitch that says something like 500lb max tongue/5,000lb max tow. In my example, that means it's rated to handle 500lbs of direct downward force from the tongue and 5,000lbs of pulling force.
