THOR #1469
The only reason Thor went to a 8000 pound hitch is the hitch manufacturer quit making the 5000 pound hitch. If I am not mistaken they changed their welding process which allowed the 5K hich to be upgraded to 8K towing capacity. My Challenger which was built in Aug of 2014 was one of the first to roll out of the factory with the 8000 pound hitch and I am limited to 4000 pounds of towing due to GVWR and GCWR.

Same thing happened with Forest River when they went from a 5K to 6K hitch a couple of years earlier.
