Here is what I got out of that. If you don't do any research and you are not sure what your tongue weight is then buy the hitch that will work for everything! sounds like a customer service rep answer to me, "anything to buy our product!"

I think that is a misinterpretation of what he said. Also, you need to remember that his response is a response to my question. I did not ask if the 14k hitch will work for everything.

Or you can go by the educated answers and get the hitch that matches your loaded tongue weight.

I still don`t understand why everyone goes through all the trouble of looking at truck weights, trailer weights, GVWR and axle weights, and research on the vehicles your looking at, then throw all that knowledge out the window when looking for a hitch?!

Again get the hitch that matches your trailer loaded tongue weight!

I am curious, are you suggesting that there is only one size hitch from each company that is proper for a particular tongue weight? For example, if you have 985 tongue weight then the 1000 lb hitch is the only hitch that is proper and will work and that getting the 1200 lb hitch would cause a horrible ride and might cause a bent frame?
