If you are concerned about a 200# hitch then you already have too small of a truck. Believe me ratings don't mean CHIT!!!

My DRV was 18k at the factory with 21k rating. How in the HE!! can it now weigh 24k??? Real easy as you keep adding and adding along the way plain and simple.

Good news is I have a truck that easily handles all that weight. Yea it's my daily driver.
