Question trailer hitch

trailer hitch, so i just bought a used trailer hitch from the jy for $45 (check them out new, it will make you get over the rust real fast) and i brought it home. it is a twin to the hitch i have on my other ford. so heres the question. they are both draw tite clave iv hitches all welded and everything. the one i just bought is rated to tow 5000 pounds and the one on the truck is rated for 7500 pounds, why is this when i look on drawtite's website they dont even list one with this rating. but the hitch i just bought is 8000 pounds weight distributing. is it possible that the other hitch is 7500 pounds weight distrbuting. also what do you have to do to wire a 92 for a trailer. it already has a pigtail on the truck but it doesnt work so i should just have to replace that right. thanks to all in advance

How about if everyone answers in the other thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ler-hitch.html Maybe a moderator will delete this one, or it will just fade away.
