For WD hitches, Hensley is rated at 2000lbs, I belive.
For receivers on the truck, Reese makes the Tow Beast and Pull rite makes one.
The Tow Beast is rated at 2500lbs with a WD hitch.
Thanks for the reply lincster...
Called Hensley, max is 1400tw 14,000 tow
New Reese is 1500tw 15,000tow, but iirr, 1400/14,000 rating with dual cam anti sway.
Equalizer is also 1400/14000. All very nice wd hitches, just maybe not heavy duty enough...
The pull rite does make a 20,000/2000 tw total receiver/hitch type thing that has to be welded or bolted on to the frame. Its not a conventional slide into the receiver hitch. And was told the old 2.5" receiver might need to come off. That isn't an option for me on the lease trucks I get.
I need a hitch that will slide into all the new leased trucks 2.5" oem receiver thats rated for 2000tw 18500 tow.
So what do people do. I can't be the only one that has over 1400 tongue weight...?

Well as long as we are talking about WD hitches with sway control, who makes the largest capacity hitch...?
I have a 15,000 GTW, 1500 tw wd hitch now with sway control. Its the biggest I could find.And at the time thought it would be plenty big enough. That was before I started using the scales... My TH sticker says 13,000 gvw 1090tw.
Is there a bigger hitch made...?
But lets get real, the real weights are, TH fully loaded with water,fuel,toys,gear, is 14,000+lbs, and TW is more like 1700-2000lbs depending on loading,I've seen 2200# before a reload adjustment.
My axles are at least 6000lbs, and my lt ribs tires give me the full 18,000 load capacity. Rating for the 2.5" receiver in the new trucks should be plenty. My worry is the hitch rating.
What are the real world concerns of going over considerably on the TW/GTW...? rating of the wd hitch. If I could find a larger capacity hitch I would gladly buy it, just don't see them available. I am sure others have been in this predicament also, Is there any real world solution...?
Anyone...???

Moving from a 5er to large bumper pull toyhauler. Purchased a 2014 Raptor 31DS and we'll pick it up next week. We are looking for recommendations on a weight stabilizer/equalizer hitch.
Thanks.
It always helps to know what you are towing it with.

There are 4 good choices out there:
Equal-i-qer (brand)
ProPride
Reese Dual Cam Strait Line (my choice)
Hensley (excellent but very expensive).
Proper hitching equipment and correct set up of this equipment is a biggie with bumper pull trailers.

GMC Duramax
