I checked with manufacturer on this, they do not provide a weight capacity or shear point rating for the Ultra-Fab Steel Roller, # UF48-979020. Destructive testing to determine these values is not completed. Its' purpose is to be mounted on the hitch providing a contact point prior to that of what it is protecting receiving the damage that would otherwise occur to the hitch. They did state that their products are supplied to the OEM's in bulk and they have yet to have a single warranty claim.

Yes, the Rollaway Hitch Protector, #RM-050, should be plenty heavy enough to work on your 37 foot motorhome and keep the hitch from dragging when you back into your driveway, as long as the dip you have is not so deep that it is bending the hitch…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

I'm assuming your 2024 F-250 has the 6-3/4' bed. If that is correct, the right tie-downs are in fact the #TLF3008 and #TL77CR. TorkLift has accounted for the bed access steps on the 2024 model and confirmed these will fit your truck.
