Class IV or V receiver Hitch
Opinions are like, well you know but I want some opinions. I have a 2020 Keystone Outback 301UBH travel trailer. Stock tongue weight was about 900 lbs. Dry Weight was about 7200 lbs. With having the second AC added and all of the stuff the wife has in it, I figure I'm roughly 8500 lbs going down the road. That being said, in Feb, we upgraded from out 2017 ram with a max towing set up of 8,300 lbs to a 2021 rated for 11,500 lbs. (3.92 gearing, mega brakes, etc. Ram air suspension ) The difference between the 3.21's and 3.92's is night and day as well as the other towing extras the 2021 came with. That being said, came with the factory Class IV, and i'm assuming like all class IV's its rated for 1,400 lbs max tongue with bars. Curt makes a Class 5 rated for 1,700 lbs with bars, what say you? An upgrade I should consider? We are planning a trip to South Carolina this August (About 500-ish miles) from my house, but for the most part, we always stay within a 100 mile radius of the house when camping.
