good job camera girl. so im not sure i understand. the hitch is rated for only 6000 pounds but then the truck is rated for 12,700 pounds. how does this make any sense. does it need to be welded on? I can weld it on. I got a hemi v8 truck and somehow it didnt come with a proper receiver to tow my boat. the dealer is now putting it on but theyre being strange about answering questions. they took a week and i had to get really on them about it all. its pretty frustrating. and now youre saying the hitch is only rated for 6k pounds and im like hhuuuH? then that means its not a class 4 hitch at all.

Yeah, not a real hitch at all. It's very lightweight, but was a perfect size for my small landscape trailer. If you are looking to haul real stuff on big trailers, you would need a real hitch. This would be more for small trailers or maybe bike racks or those cargo rack.

@@jeremythompson7022 real hitch. as opposed to fake hitch. ok i think what you meant is that you have a class III hitch as opposed to a class IV hitch.

And now that I bought a truck from them there was a huge confusion after the fact that I bought my truck that it would be able to tow my 8,000 pound boat or not.

Hi could you tell me what size the threads are in the front where the bolt holes for the brackets have pre threaded nuts? The M8x1.25 bolts that came with my running boards don’t fit those holes..too big. But M7 bolts are too small. Same truck, 2020 ram quad cab warlock
@jeremythompson7022Ай бұрын
I don't recall what size they were. But since my truck was brand spanking new, I assume the threads were perfectly clean. Possibly your threads have started to rust inside? Maybe run a tap thru them first to clean them out? Good luck!

I took it to a truck shop to get a tonneau installed. While I was there I asked if they could look at the holes and see if they had some bolts to fit. They ran a tap through and the M8x1.25 bolts fit now. I guess it was just rust

Slightly confusing... the link will bring you to Amazon and it states 6000# load with 600# tongue. But in the packaging it states 3500# load with 350# tongue. I contacted them and they said it would be safer to go by the smaller rating. I only have a small landscape trailer which fits within either limit, so I didn't care much.

Update... I recently had to drill some weep holes in the bottom of the running boards. Somehow they were filling up with water and were making a "bonging" sound. I'm not sure how the water is getting in, maybe where the rubber tread is attached? I assumed it was glued down, but it's getting in somewhere. So now it can drip out before my Northern Minnesota -25⁰ weather causes the freezing water to rupture my boards. And I have noticed a little paint flaking off at the front corners and where I step everyday.
