Weight distribution needed? Help interpret CAT scale numbers

Not all receivers are rated the same...

Here is Curt's PDF on their towing info. Names of the various parts,
HOW2's, and ratings/class of receiver (this topic)

Curt: Understanding Towing
ReceiverRatings

Check out page 7...their offerings ranges from 200lb to over 1,800 lb
tongue weight ratings. So be careful of folks pointing out what theirs
is rated for...as it only applies to theirs...or yours if yours is the
exact same model

Here are some receiver labels, both posted here on rv.net and found
on the internet. Note that there are two weight ratings. Load carry
or dead weight and WD.
