Except that in the brochure they promote the 10k hitch rating as being the rating for the coach with the following statement:
"The I-Beam front axle with a 55-degree wheel cut upfront paired with V-ride technology helps with stability and handling, even when you put the 10,000-lb hitch to work on your journey to the Unique Museums of the Southeast."
