I researched the 'Towing' Q quite a bit before buying our truck. Knowing that we intended to get a Travel Trailer that will be pushing the 6-7kpds range, we knew we had to go class IV.

That said, when we looked into the Packages, the Big Tow Pkg was a must. The Class IV hitches run quite a bit more than the Class III's do as there is less of a market for them. A lot of people who tow stay under 5kpds.

Hitch cost alone varies by $200-$400 more than the Class III...then the Stabilizers etc run your even more.

THe Big tow Pkg also integrated the Temp Gauge etc which for me is a great piece of mind.

Will a Class IV be hard to install? Probably no harder than any other hitch.

If your not sure if you will ever use it...There are plenty of boats and campers out there less than 5k pds that you could use a Class III setup for.
