My 2017 CCLB 4x4 diesel dually Lariat Ultimate has a payload sticker of 5,440. 21k trailer would be a tongue weight of less than half that payload. I think it would handle it very well.

For what its worth, there's no way I'm buying new hitches. My truck has the 3" hitch, and the step-down adapter is working quite well, lol. Why would I bother? The trailer didn't get any bigger...hahahaha.

With a 1,000 lb tongue weight my F-350 CCLB SRW squats 1 3/4". Tongue weight doesn't include the WDH or the bars that go on it.

So, 5 new trucks in the last 5 years strikes you as reasonable but a new hitch to fit your new 3" receiver is over the top? LOL Tyler... not sure I'm following that logic...

Hahaha - You're right of course, but its amazing how cheap I am in some areas. I have to laugh at myself sometimes. Anyways, the hitches are still doing their job admirably well!
