Integrated hitch rating
The standard integrated hitch has two ratings depending on mode of
operation:
•
Weight carrying
- requires a draw bar and hitch ball. The draw bar
supports all the vertical tongue load of the trailer.
•
Weight distributing
- requires an aftermarket weight distributing
system which includes draw bar, hitch ball, spring bars and snap-up
brackets. The vertical tongue load of the trailer is distributed between
the truck and the trailer by this system.

These are hitch ratings only; actual vehicle ratings are dependent on
engine, transmission and axle combinations.
WARNING:
Towing trailers beyond the maximum tongue weight
exceeds the limit of the towing system and could result in
vehicle structural damage, loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
