Question:

Expert Reply:

The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2 has a gross towing weight of 10,000 lbs and tongue weight of 400 lbs. This is intended for flat towing, otherwise the adapter will reduce your hitch capacity by 50%.

Since you're using a winch I recommend the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-303 instead. This will have no impact on your hitch capacity and has a 10,000 lb gross towing weight with a 1,500 lb max tongue weight capacity. If you need an even higher capacity the # 325-GH-503 has a 2,000 lb tongue weight and 16,000 lb gross towing weight.
