Just how powerful are they?
Sorry I didn't capture a picture, but I didn't want to mess with my phone while on the highway. While driving to a campground recently, I was passed by a Class A towing a long bed Chevy Silverado 2...

Even small gas Class A's on F-53 chassis can flat tow 10,000 pounds, but as the RV gets larger that shrinks. F-53 has GCWR of 26,000 pounds (more on larger models), motorhome could be under 15,000 or as much as 22,000.
10,000 tow rating is common for diesel pushers, some can be 2-3 times that.
Issue tends to be tongue weight because leverage of long rear overhangs. But a truck is a flat tow, little weight on the hitch.
Ummmmmm, I haven't seen any small Class A's with a hitch receiver rated at more than 5K. Not to say that one couldn't get by with it, though and just wondering if the subject matter here is about ratings or what one might get away with before something breaks, falls off or burns up?
