So maybe someone can help be understand the following. Here is what I have.
I know I can buy a pole tongue adapter and weight distributing hitch for my boat trailer but I have heard it's not recommended due to the added stress on the end of the trailer and it can mess with the brakes.
I found a hitch rated to pull 6000k lbs but it will hang below my bumper and look like ****. At least it would help.
Most people I talk to tell me I am fine, that they tow much more than what I am looking to tow but I want to make sure I am safe.
Any advice would be appreciated.
ps. Just don't tell me to get a bigger truck.
