Hi everybody,
I am new here and as of today a happy owner of a 2023 Imagine 23BH and don't think this will be my last question about this rig. I used to have a 5th wheel some years back and am pretty new to TT towing. Kind of overwhelmed with all the options for WDH's.
I read a lot about Anderson, E-qualizer, Husky, Trunnion, round bars, ProPride, etc, and it hasn't been very helpful in terms of the decision to be made.
So far, I tend to the Anderson as it seems one of the best in terms of weight and smoothness. What I don't get: can I use a WDH that is rated for higher weight as well? The trailer has a GVWR at around 6900lbs, tongue weight should be between 500-800lbs (as per my dealership). Could I use a hitch that is rated for let's say 12,000 lbs? Is there any advantage of using a higher-rated hitch or does it have to be a hitch that is within the rate of the trailer?
Towing with a 2020 Silverado 1500 3.0l Diesel.
Thank you for any suggestions.
