Calm down folks the ratings are for the max tow weight by a class 1- 3 truck that can safely carry using a fifth wheel or goose neck hitch. Bumper or receiver hitches were not considered. For Thor MC - MorRide does the chassis modification and receiver hitch welding and modification. They are the only ones certified in the production sequence to work or weld on the chassis. Engineering specifications are submitted by MorRide to the Ford engineering at the Ford plant in Lexington, KY for analysis as Ford's name and warranty is on the chassis and not Detroit Chassis or MorRide's. The actual receiver manufacture rates the receiver type hitch based on the vehicle it is specifically manufactured for. Universal hitches are rated specifically for the hitch and not the vehicle. What is stamped on the hitch is the hitch manufacture's recommendations. As for the tow limitations, that is in the Ford owners specifications and is based on the chassis capacity. This gross weight is on the Ford VIN sticker by the drivers left elbow on F-53 chassis.
