Expert Reply:
We have a hitch extender that would meet the capacities you are wanting to haul. The Blue Ox 6-3/4" or 8-3/4" Hitch Extender # BX88265 has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 10,000 lbs and 1,000 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch extender will give you both 6 3/4" and 8 3/4" of extension. Something to keep in mind, when using a hitch extender your vehicle's hitch capacities will decrease by 50%.
