My heavy jeep is one of the reasons I chose Thor, because they're the only ones that have an 8,000 hitch all the other manufactures only use a 5,000 hitch.
Be interested in what you think after the Invisibrake is active... No doubt you would 'know it was there' without the braking system... Stopping an extra 5000 pounds will get your attention. With the invisibrake, I've never felt it stopping... Do see some difference on acceleration and more frequent downshifting on hills.
But stopping is the most important part.

(Mine is lighter - only 3300 curb weight. and don't load it up too much for normal trips.)

Do check your weights - while Thor does use an 8000 pound hitch on newer models - many rigs will exceed their GCWR long before that...
