I'm sure I can get that truck down to single digits pulling if you go to sleep in the back seat. LOL!

I could get the overhead display to bottom out in the 5.4 MPG range on my Cummins dually. And I didn't even have to be pulling anything other than RPM's. 
I have data to prove that my V10 was actually more economical to drive than my Cummins.
I think it was the 12" drop hitch adding drag myself....

2" ball, 1" shank rated for 6,000 lbs. Goosenecks rated for 30,000 lbs. are 2 5/16. Kind of a silly question, what can you even tow with a 2" ball, if you have towed before. 2 place couch trailers rated for 3,000 lbs. sometimes have 1 7/8" ball.
That dual axle semi, with the 40 foot stock trailer next to you, doing 80? 2 5/16 ball. Only contact point between rig and trailer.

But...but...but... The subject was trailer hitches.... Sheesh. WTF is in you people's kool aid?
I think this is a 2"? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is that from the red green show?
Its not silly, it was a genuine question.

My bad. I do that stuff for a living, so, to me it was silly. Like whatever you do is common to you. We good?
The implication was that big beefy truck + 2” hitch on a huge drop and cheap drop hitch... cant haul much. Most streetable trailers we have on the farm with any significant weight rating are all 2 5/16” or GN couplers. Gen-Y is the only company ive seen making more than 1k/10k hitches greater than 10” drop on a 2” receiver. I welcome someone showing me differently though, I’ve got my eye on a 12.5” drop 16k Gen-Y

^^^I like the Gen Y stuff for sure. I did just switch from a DT on my dually to an 8" drop Best Way rated at 8000 on the 2" and I believe 14500 on the 2 5/16 with a 2 1/2" shank. Might be an option to look at.

That would be a 2 1/4 shank, but whatever. I just hope you guys know what the receiver is rated for.

....and you said 2" ball, not class III, 2" receiver.

It is a 2012 F 350 that accepts a 2 1/2" shank hitch in the receiver, 2017 went to 3". I am not aware of a 2 1/4" but I am aware of what is on my truck and the ratings. Thanks for the insight though.

My truck only has a 2” receiver, so im very limited. The beefiest bumper receiver I can get is a Curt that has 2400lb tongue weight rating and 16k GTW rating on a 2” receiver. Thank you for the recommendation
