I have a 36' DP with a 330HP CAT and a Allison 6 speed tranny. Monaco rated the hitch at 5,000lbs. I wanted to tow my 3/4 ton Dodge diesel pickup. So, I called Monaco and they said if the truck is over 5,000lbs don't do it. The told me to call the rear end/axle manufacturer and I did. They said if you do tow more than 5,000lbs you better have a good Lawyer!!! Additionally, it would void the rear end/axle warranty immediately! So, I have been towing a Nissan XTerra 4X4 for 10 years, it weighs just 4,000 to 4,500 lbs, but it works.
