8,000 lb Trailer Hitch For 23U Cannot Be Used For 8,000 lb Towing
My 2016 Thor Motor Coach 23U was advertised as having an 8,000 pound hitch. The brochure stated “8,000-lb Trailer Hitch with 7-pin Round Connector” (direct quote).
Under no circumstances can the advertised 8,000-lb hitch be used to tow 8,000-lb. Unless you are willing to pay for added modifications depending on what you want to tow.
The unit has a Class IV hitch which should work for up to 1,200-lb tongue weight. However, the tongue weight has been reduced to 500-lb. That is a Class III hitch rating.
Thor Customer Service has denied any responsibility.
I am interested to see what other 23U Class C owners think about the totally misleading advertising and what you see as a solution.
