what is the max weight limit for this hitch?

You would need to contact the manufacturer for the exact weight limit. The metal appears to be the same thickness as the receiver on my F-250. It's definitely stout. The Polaris receiver is held on with five machine bolts and locking nuts.

I am not sure. it is very heavy and strong however. My husband says strong enough to use for a trailer hitch.

The hitch itself will hold no problem. Just make sure it's mounted to something substantial.

Extending the shank might adversly effect the weight distribution and sway control of the hitch. I would recommend contacting the engineers at Andersen. You are changing factory specs, so better check first

I don't recall seeing any listing of weight load limit. The rack appears to be well constructed with quality materials and design. I have only used it once to haul some lumber (Maybe 100 pounds) and saw no indication of deflection or strain. My best guess would be about 500 pounds tempered with common sense. I think common sense is the biggest factor.

I used the drop hitch for an entirely different purpose, to raise a motorcycle carrier above the level of my receiver. I can tell you that each of the three hitch positions drops (or raises) the hitch 2.5 inches, for a maximum rise or fall of 7.5 inches. Whether that is sufficient for your intended purpose, I can't say.

My hitch with 2 3/4" ball and a 2 1/2" to 2" reducer weighs 55 lbs, the torsin bars (2 of them) are 19 lbs each and a couple of pounds for the brakets for the tailer you are looking at close to 101 pound mark.The system works great on the road but is noise in town around corners, even with lots of grease.

The hitch with rails itself weighs 202lb.s, the weight limit on the hitch is 16000lb.s.

I have not tested this to the max limit as this would mean I would have broken it. However, I would guess thirty five to forty five pounds.

Not sure of weight rating. I returned it because the bicycle rack maker(Yakima) said not to use hitch extensions with a bicycle rack--it's unsafe. You would think it would be even less safe towing an RV.

2,000 lbs. I use it on the trailer winch for a 16' Stumpnocker boat. No problems.

Not aware of any weight limit. Use on bunks under 17' Mako runabout with 115 Suzuki. No problems.

All models are 10,000 pound GTWR and a 1500 pound tongue weight limit. Quite substantial!A great hitch, very nice looking and super functional. I get quite a few envious comments on it, worth the money.

I don't know the weight limit, but I have a kayak that weighs more than 50 pounds hanging from the hoist. It could lift and hold much more than that, I'm certain.

Recommended maximum of 300 pounds. However, I would not put that much weight on it unless I have several plates on the storage pegs to stabilize the load.
