Hello all!
New here, and have listed my specs in the title since I know it will be necessary information for my questions....
I have a 2022 Heartland Pioneer with a dry weight of 4,728 lbs, and a GVWR of 6900 lbs (but not hauling 6900 lbs).
RV tongue weight is 636 without the tanks or battery.
Class III hitch was already installed (I assume factory hitch? the sticker is worn off on it).
I found the chart that seems to say that I can tow up to 8,550 lbs.
The only receiver I can find for the installed hitch is rated for 6000 lbs towing and 600 lbs tongue weight.
Is there a receiver that has a tongue weight rating of more than 600 lbs that I can use for the Class III hitch?
I haven't been able to find anything.
Will I need to get the Class IV hitch installed in order to use a higher weighted receiver, or will a receiver for a Class IV hitch fit/work on my Class III?
I am fairly new to this tow capacity stuff, so feel free to be as detailed as necessary LOL.
Thanks in advance!
