We are in the process of upgrading from a XLR Micro Boost 301XLRE toy hauler to a Wildcat 35FL. The wild cat GVWR is just a bit over 14k lbs, so my current 16k curt hitch head should do the trick, but I am not a fan of the sliding locking bar. I’m wanting the extra safety of the 20k hitch head and the locking jaws. Thanks for the info!
