  • How to Determine Max Weight of 5th Wheel if Pin Weight is Known
  • If you're speaking of the # CAB-C5GX1216 Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter, it has a 20,000 lb towing capacity and a 4000 lb pin weight capacity.

  • Selecting Ball Mount for 2-Inch Class III Hitch on 2009 GMC Acadia
  • If your choice of ball mount rise or drop means being a little high on the Acadia side this is usually preferable to the trailer being higher. With any trailer and vehicle there will always be a bit of vehicle rear-end squat from the trailer's tongue weight (TW). This means that if the hitch ball is a bit taller than the level trailer's coupler this is okay since this greater height on the vehicle side will offset the squat. Please refer to the linked article on ball mounts for more information...

  • Does etrailer Hitch Lock e98882 Have Weight Capacity
  • Hitch pins and hitch pin locks like the etrailer lock # e98882 do not typically have weight capacities as they do not normally bear the weight of the trailer since the tongue weight pins the mount into the hitch tube. This would work well in a flat towing setup too even though the tongue weight isn't quite there.

  • Formula Needed to Determine if Reese Goose Box Can Provide Turning Clearance
  • The Goose Box length does not get added into any of the factors when determining clearance since it does not provide any additional clearance. Here is the formula that I'll walk you through: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center of gooseneck ball to truck cab. B = Length of Offset (in your case this is zero) C = Width of trailer divided by 2 (you measure the nose of the trailer as that's what would potentially hit truck cab).
