So I recently bought a new F-150 supercrew with ecoboost engine. Was told by the dealer that there would be no issue towing my 6000 lb. + craz with the truck. Upon further inspection, the standard hitch is only rated for 500 tongue weight and 5000 gross trailer weight. However, both of those numbers double when using one of those stupid weight distributing hitch contraptions. They are expensive and look like a total headache. My question is, do any of you guys use one of them? Have you upgraded your hitch? Do I have any other options?

My dealer doesn't seem to think that upgrading my hitch will solve the problem, nor are they even sure it's possible. This whole thing seems to be kind of a grey area that none of the manufacturers talk about, not to mention, it's very misleading.

I know we started to get into this topic in another thread a few weeks ago, but there was never any real clear answer. Sounds like most guys are either unaware they are over weight or they ignore it. I'm definitely concerned about insurance if an accident were to occur while I'm over rated capacity. Hopefully some of you guys can help me here, I'm sure I'm not in the minority in this particular situation.
