I got the 24K Curt/Ram with the brand new Ram 1 ton. There just wasn't enough cost difference between a lighter hitch and the heavier hitch to justify not going with the max I could get in the truck. If I ever decide to upgrade to a heavier trailer I am already setup (or if I need to help a friend with one).


OP, You should be fine so long as your hitch is rated above the max weight you will ever tow. Keep in mind though that you have to consider not only the trailer weight but the weight of everything in it including a full water tank! And if your like at least 75% of 5th wheel owners you WILL be upgrading to something larger in the future..... Is there really that much price difference between the 16K and 24K? Compared to say your truck or 5th wheel? Just remember this is THE critical link between your truck and camper and as such a rather important piece of equipment. It is certainly not one I would go the cheap route on!!!
