Just curious what I would need to change out to go from the 1000/10000 hitch to the 1200/12000 or 1400/14000 hitch. What can I keep and what would need to be changed?
A little rant to go with this:
Just bought the TT and hitch - brand new. Not knowing a lot about TTs and towing I asked the dealer what size hitch they were putting on. Tech said 1000/10000 and I asked if the 1200/12000 wouldn't be better. He says, "no, 1000/10000 is all you'll need. You don't want to go too big because it would stiffen the ride". Well, I think he was all wet and I could have/should have gone at least the next one up. But not knowing enough about this part of it I just settled.
TT is a Rockwood 8329SS (35 feet, 8850 GVWR). I haven't done a true weight on it yet but my guess is that the tongue wt. will be over 1000. I only drove it home from the dealer, about 50 miles, and it was smooth as glass but that isn't a large enough sample size to tell me what I want to know. The TV is not a problem (Dodge Ram 3500 w/5.9 Cummins) but I just want everything to be as clean as possible.
Thoughts - suggestions?
