Ok, dumb question, but what happens if I get the Hensley arrow or similar hitch rated for 1400 tongue weight, and the actual tongue weight comes in closer to 1600 when loaded up?
You'll be over weight. There are certain tolerances with the weight capacities slightly over the max advertised weight however if your over on a specific element of the entire system and there is an accident (for any reason) then the insurance company can state that the result would have been different and can deny all or some of your claim.
My fifth is weighed in at 10k totally loaded. I could have gone with the 15k reese or some other unit but I am an B&W self admitted fan boy so I went with the 18k slider. Overkill, well sure, but I will know that my weakest link is never be my hitch with proper operation use and service as needed. :B
