Can Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch have it's Weight Capacity Exceeded
Question:
I am purchasing a 2021 Grand Design Momentum 381M with upgraded 8K axles x3. I will be towing it with my 2020 Ram 3500 DRW MegaCab 6.5 bed length. The GVWR of the trailer will be officially 21,000 lbs due to the limitation of the king pin which I will upgrade to a Morryde 23K lb. We plan to load into the trailer RZR, Motorcycle, gear, I expect to be at 21,000 lbs or a little more most of the time. Will the Demco 21K be able to handle the maximums I expect it to tow? thanks.
