Weight Of Reese M5 Series Hitches Compatible With Ford Factory Rail Kit
Question:
One of the primary concerns of someone pulling a trailer with a truck is total combined weight. Part of that weight of course is the hitch itself. I am surprised that I dont see that information on this item description. Did I miss it? If not, what is the weight of the unit for the 2016 F250 20K hitch? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 27,000 lbs # RP30922 is only weighed for shipping. The shipping weight is 162lbs, so you will need to take off a couple pounds for shipping material, but that is a fairly accurate functional weight.
The 20K capacity M5 Series Hitch # RP30921 is 154lbs, and the 27K capacity M5 Series Hitch # RP30922 is 162lbs. All of these hitches are compatible with your 2016 Ford F-250 with Factory Rail Kit.
