A couple of questions came up when I was shopping for trailers:

How large of a ball can be installed in our hitch?

What's the max tounge weight?

Anyone know?

I beg to differ, George. Max. tongue weight is 500 lbs., unless you use a load distributing hitch, in which case it escalates to 870 lbs.
