You are all aware, I hope, that the "V-5" shown in the picture above is not the class of that hitch. It is the document version of the testing standards that the hitch meets.
The "class" is determined by the weight numbers shown and that varies between different manufacturers.
Here is one manufacturers version.
Here is another.
Here is a third version by a retailer.
And a forth version.

I am confused by this post and hitches in general..In reading each link you provided it clearly says class IV hitches have a 2" tube and class V a 2.5" tube..Coming off a modern F-350 Dually I just figured it was Fords weak version of a class v hitch.I does have WD up to 19,000 pounds which a class iv does not..
So what class is it?
