I tried this in the towing section but got no responce so i will try it here.I need to get a new hitch for the ford.I have a 10k bumper pull that will have my burb on it.Do i need a class 5 or is that overkill.They are about 100 bucks more than a 3 which says it handles 10k.this is the one im looking at-http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Receiver-Hitch-80-96-Ford-F150-F250-F350-87163_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33653QQihZ002QQitemZ120116572115QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW..the truck has a class 4 but has some rust on it so i think im just gonna replace it...no need to take a chance.any info would be helpfull.

I'm not really familiar with your application, but I'd go back with something like the factory offering. I think the factory hitch on my '01 Dodge Ram 2500 is a class 4. If it were me, I'd go for the overkill class 5. Just to throw this out there, I do my towing either with the factory installed hitch on my truck, or with my B&W turn-over-ball gooseneck hitch which is rated for several times more than my truck can handle.

overkill never hurts.
