The rating of the hitch is right on the sticker.

The tow rating of the VEHICLE that it's attached to is more important.

i've got now - the reciever can take 6000/600 providing I buy a weight distributing hitch. If I use an ordinary hitch I can only haul 3500/300. I'll check the GCVW on truck.

thanks to all.
