Hitch Selection - TW Questions

I'd figure what my greatest anticipated tongue weight might be, and get whatever is enough (even 'just enough') to handle that amount. Going beyond that to the next available pound-rated hitch could cause a rougher ride, and maybe somewhat more stress on the frames for lack of 'give'. However, if you think you'll be trading the trailer for something heavier in the near future, then it could make sense to go to the next higher rated hitch.
