You will have no problem towing that with a B&W because they are rated for like 30K gross trailer weight and 7.5K tungue weight. I tow a trailer rated at 24K with two jeep wranglers and it does real good. Need some more powermods though.

Those things are no fun to pull out when you get dirt/sand/junk wedged in there while the ball is upside down.

When I bought my truck, it had been used mostly for hauling a slide in camper. I don't think the ball was ever removed from the hitch. It took 2 hrs., 1 can of PB Blaster, a bearing puller being used as a press, A torch & a large hammer to get it out. What Fun !
