Please recommend a good WD hitch
I own a DP which I leave stateside for our travels. Because it's down in the states, I need something for use in Alaska so I'm about to buy a 2006 Nash 26X trailer:
OAL of 28'5"
Two axles
Tires - ST238/80R16, load range E, load capacity of 3,520# ea
Dry weight - 5,800#
GVW - 10,800#
Net carrying capacity - 4,135#
Dry hitch weight - 900#
Loaded hitch weight - unknown at this time
I've towed a lot of trailers - two and four place enclosed snowmachine trailers, my 14,000# dump trailer, Bob Cat trailers and so on, but none of them have been travel trailers and none of them have used WD hitches. That aside, I'd like to get a good WD hitch - not the best or the most expensive one out there, just one that I can expect good performance from.
I'll be towing with a 2005 Ford 3/4T 4X4 CC long bed diesel pick-up truck on load range E, 17" tires.
The Ford factory receiver is rated at:
W/ WD 12,500# / 1,250#
Weight carrying 5,000# / 500#
Please let me know your thoughts or experiences with a "good" WD hitch.
