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...

Here is the response Curt sent me.
"Jeremiah,
The CURT 15410 is rated at 17,000lbs weight carrying capacity and 17,000lbs weight distribution (WD) capacity. We are able to increase our tongue weights on some hitches based on testing results and a demand for higher tongue weights (TW). This hitch is rated at 2,550lbs TW and the same for WD. You are correct that we don’t offer a WD rated for the 2,550lbs TW or even a WD rated for the 17,000lbs max WD on this hitch. The highest rated WD we offer currently is a 15,000lb WD (CURT # 17333) with 1,500lbs TW. We will eventually offer a 20,000lb rated WD but that is a few months away still. The higher tongue weight rating helps now if you are using that hitch with a Pintle hitches and can get up to 20,000lbs.
I hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can offer. Thank you."
Looks like a 20k WD hitch is on the horizon.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
