Here's a hitch with a 14,000# rating...... scroll down the page. I'm confused 
if the trailer weighs 11,500# what's wrong with a 12,500# hitch?

The weak point with the 250 is in the payload rating.>

The trailer isn't a fiver so it isn't putting weight in the bed. If you have 
a heavy fiver you worry about the tongue weight and the payload and get a 
dually. Keeping in mind one ton dually have a lower tow rating than 3/4 ton SRW 
trucks.
