extending the hitch out of 2015 Ford Super Duty
I've got a 2015 F250 short bed crew cab, and I'm currently pulling a 2014 outback 250rs ~6000lbs (dry)trailer with approx 700-800lbs tongue weight. I'm using a Reese Dual Cam WDH with 1200lb bars.
I've recently acquired a Polaris RZR side by side UTV and would like to be able to haul it in the truck bed and still pull the TT, this requires the gate to be down, which is a problem since I can get my tail lights to touch the camper if I jack it really hard with the gate up.
I've seen some crazy setups that carry the UTV on top on the bed rails, or even over the cab...I'm not looking to spend 3k on some crazy apparatus like that.....
so obviously I need to extend the hitch. I understand fully that any extension of the hitch seriously lessens it's capacity. but other than trading in my brand new truck for a long bed what are my options? class IV 2.5" hitch w/extension? superhitch? or will my OEM hitch handle a 12-18" extnsion with the current WD system given my trailer weight?
