2005, 2500 factory class IV hitch rating
Dealer and Chysler can not tell me. Class IV is usually 5-10,000 AFAIK weight carrying, but it depends on the hitch rating. Saw a thread on edmunds forum that claims it is 5000 lb weight carrying. Hard to believe a diesel would be equipped with that "light" a hitch. Any idea??

The one on my '01.5 says 5 K (10k weight distrubting), IMy drop hitch is rated at 5K also.
Whrn I load up all said the Trailer, Tractor & Impliment, Chains and binder I'm probably pushing 9-9500 lbs. I never really got a straight answer last time I asked, guess I'm pushing it a bit. To tow what I do, I (and everyone else) probably need to look at a whole new set up?
Not sure on the New ones either.

Mine is rated 12K WD per the book. Some early trucks had an insert or extra sheet of paper for the tow package. I never noticed what the non-WD rating is. But the factory hitch is holding up to my heavy tag trailer so far, its not bent.... I've been way over 12K with a pintel tailer, three times.
