Ram does too. My 2500 has a class V, they’re even nice enough to give you a reducer if you don’t wanna buy a new hitch! Lol how could you pass up a deal like that?!?
Honestly I think y’all are worrying for nothing. I don’t know where these ratings come from, it’s just odd to me. My parents towed a 30’ bumper pull steel horse trailer all over the country with me and my sister to rodeos with a 1.5” shank, 2” 5000# ball ON THE BUMPER of a 1980 GMC 1 ton. Those old trucks don’t have near the capability of all this new technology. If that welded chunk of 2” square tube with 4-6 bolts directly into the frame can’t handle a 7000# boat on wheels, I’d be more than surprised.
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but from an engineering stand point, it doesn’t add up that the hitches can’t handle it.Overkill is underrated

As an Engineer, I can assure you that the hitch rating was established by SAE specification J684.
There is safety factor, but, typically I would not want to rely upon that factor towing a mortgage or my family.

It's a liability issue. Can it handle it? Sure - until it doesn't. Then who pays for the damage?

I’m sure it’s like our pressure treating equipment at work. It’s rated for 15,000 psi working pressure but the manufacturer tests it to 22500 psi. If we are using it and it sees over 15,750 psi it is removed from service and destroyed. Can it take 15,750 psi? Sure, but if it fails the liability is too great.
That being said, I exceed the receiver capacity on the Expedition. Rated for 6,000 lbs and the Mojo clocks in at 6,900

I don’t mean to preach, simply sharing the facts.
What everyone does with facts are up to them.
It’s kinda like seatbelts......fact is they save lives, yet some people still refuse to wear them......
