I don’t think the weight limits of the hitch is misleading, but an accurate measure of what the hitch can support. When they make the hitch they have no idea what they hitch will be attached to, or how much the vehicle can handle. What other measure do they have or would you realistically like to see FROM the hitch maker? A jeans maker will say their pants will handle a man with a size 38 waist. It’s not their fault that you can’t fit your size 44 butt in them.
I do think perhaps the manufacturer should post a big yellow sign that says based on the a fully loaded vehicle per stated weights, how much the vehicle as delivered can tow. Especially for those that are weak in math, or have no clue what the numbers already provided mean.
It would also be nice, if not already considered, by the manufacturer of the MH to make sure their designs and contents leave sufficient room for towing (not to mention contents) a average size car. Of course it doesn’t help much when the size and weight of toads has increased with the move to SUV’s. But I don’t give this one much hope. I personally believe that no RV designed actually uses one, or they would not put things where they do.
