8,000# hitch on new E-450 Chassis
It has recently come to my attention that all new Thor Motorhomes on the E-450 chassis built after 10/01/2014 come equipped standard with an 8,000 pound receiver hitch instead of the 5,000 pound hitch...

If I were in your shoes, I'd bite the bullet and use a WD hitch. I was in a similar situation at work with an F550 and a 7K enclosed trailer. You'd think that it wouldn't be an issue with that big truck and little trailer, but the F550 was heavily loaded to begin with, and the WD hitch was necessary to get the rear axle under its 13K max.
