I know the hitch is rated for 20,000# towing, but I would go up one size to the next heavier rated hitch. Sure, the hitch is rated for 20,000#, and must have a safety factor, but why go into the safety factor? Are you sure you will be able to maintain the trailer under the 20,000# rating?

But both the Trailer and Truck are rated at 20k as well. So yea... I am going to try very hard to stay away from crossing 20k. If I don't, both the trailer and truck will be over as well, so I am not in a comfortable position!
My goal is to stay below 19k. But again, this all seems besides the point as the even more important parts of my package have the same limit. I'm guess the hitch failing is actually the best thing to fail versus the trailer or truck. But that's just a guess and doesn't matter to the discussion.
