Hello Jack,
Great question! B&W does not have a specific weight rating for the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 3" Hitches - Flush - 3-1/8" Span - Stainless Steel # BW23FR, they have it on their site that it works for Class III, IV, and V hitches. As you can see from the chart that I attached the Class V is listed for up to 25,000 pounds. With that being said, yes it will work great with the 21K Tow & Stow.
