2" vs 2 1/2" receiver hitch. How to choose?
I have to change out my Draw-tite receiver. It has a 14000/1400 WD rating. The TH tongue is 1280 lbs. I've been on the phone with three hitch suppliers, a hitch installer and various Internet so...

IMHO.. The 2 1/2 is no longer required.
You can get forged shanks that are strong enough in 2 inch receivers to pull pretty much anything.
The strongest receiver I can find for a superduty like ours is made by Curt
Its rated for max trailer weight of 20,000 lbs and a max tongue weight of 2,700 lbs WITH OR WITHOUT Weight distribution.
Very substantial for a 2 inch receiver.

This is way you never have to worry about receiver strength ever again. And its only $321.40 from Etrailer..
Thanks!
