What is Gross Trailer Weight Rating of Reese Weight Distribution Shank RP3210
Question:
I see that the tongue weight rating is 1,400 lbs, would you happen to know the tow rating capacity. I have a weight distribution trunion system rated at 15,000 lbs.

Expert Reply:
Weight distribution shanks like the Reese RP3210 and the others shown on the linked page usually have a gross trailer weight (GTW) rating that is 10 times their tongue weight (TW) rating. This holds true in the case of the Reese RP3210 which carries a GTW rating of 14,000-lbs.
For a shank rated to 15,000-lbs you can use any of those shown on the other linked page, such as Reese # RP54970 which offers similar rise and drop heights.
