The good news is a class 4 hitch is cheap, well worth $150.
Check your ball mount and trailer ball ratings as well.

I’ve got a class 4 hitch I just think it’s funny how their website says 5k limit on it.

It’s probably got more to do with the balance and stability of the vehicle than it does with how much the hitch can hold.

OEM’s need to put together towing flow charts.
So many things to consider.
Can the truck tow X number or pounds......
Can your hitch handle trailer and tongue weight......
Do you exceed payload......
Is ball mount rated higher than trailer weight....
Is trailer ball rated higher than trailer weight.....
Just can’t blindly trust the OEM and OEM equipment, responsibility is on the owner.

No, that tow chart only covers the truck and is vague at best telling you if the hitch, ball mount and ball are rated to tow that amount.
I am talking about a flow chart.
Bottom line gentlemen, make sure your hitch gear is rated to tow your boats.

Well the ball and ball mount usually don’t come with the truck so it’s hard for the manufacture to specify those numbers

I get it, I just wonder how many on this forum are exceeding tow capacity based on OEM towing claims.
