CLASS V
Class V hitches are weight carrying (WC) and weight distributing (WD) hitches depending on the vehicle and hitch specifications.
Class V hitches used as weight carrying are rated up to 12,000 lbs. gross trailer weight (GTW) with a maximum trailer tongue weight (TW) of 1200 lbs.

The vehicle manufacturer may place a lower rating on the vehicle hitch tongue weight, but Class V hitches are rated at 1,200 lbs tongue weight.
