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.

Some of the Class Cs built on E-450 chassis have a GCWR of 22,000 pounds, so if not loaded to more than 14,000 pounds, they could in theory pull a toad that weighs up to 8,000 pounds.
A smaller Class C should also get close to that if nearly empty even if built on E-350 chassis.
I believe that most motorhomes end up towing a toad either with tow bar or dolly, and neither adds much tongue weight. That's the main advantage of having a higher 8,000-pound towing capacity even though tongue weight is limited to 500 pounds.
