So we are picking up a new Desert Fox 24 AS tow hauler tomorrow and the stated dry hitch weight is 1610 pounds. The dealership says they usually just use a 1,000 pound rated weight distributing hitch for those. I'm Leary. I have a 1,000/10,000 LB Equil-i-zer hitch currently bit I also had Camping World set aside a new 1,400/14,000 LB hitch for me. I'm wondering if the 14,000 pound hitch will be OK. With the added weigh of toys in the back behind the axles there should be less tongue weight than a dry tongue weight.....right? Also, do the air bags our Silverado 2500HD has play a factor in this?
Thoughts? 1,400/14,000 is the largest one Equil-i-zer makes.
For the Equalizer system, all you'd need is the heaver bars to "upgrade" to 1,400/14,000 lb. Everything else should be the same. No need to buy another whole system.
I'm pretty sure that the 4pt Equal-i-zer requires you to upgrade the hitch head also, when moving to the heavier bars.
