A towing system includes each vehicle and component involved in towing. Each item in your towing system has a capacity
or weight rating. Your trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or GVWR. Your truck has a towing capacity, a payload
capacity, and possibly more. In addition, your fth wheel hitch has a weight rating. This weight rating must be at, or
above, the GVWR of your trailer for you to tow safely. In addition, if your truck can tow larger loads (has a larger capacity)
than the rating of your hitch, your system is only safe to tow loads at the lower rating, that of the hitch.
Your gooseneck ball will also have a weight rating, just like your fth wheel hitch. Many times, these ratings are designed
to match, but this is not always the case. Your gooseneck ball may be higher rated than your fth wheel hitch, but it also
could be lower depending on the components involved. The lowest rating of any one component in the system becomes
the rating of the entire system. If your ball is rated to 18,000 lbs., and your hitch is rated at 24,000 lbs., the weight rating
of the entire system will not be above 18,000 lbs. Other components in the system could lower the actual system rating
further.
It is the end users responsibility to ensure a safe towing experience. To this end, it is your responsibility to ensure that the
truck, trailer, hitching components, and all other items involved are rated or have a capacity su󰀩cient for the loads
involved.
