Tow hitch balls and trailer weights
 

The number on my trailer ball is 2000#.

What exactly does that number refer to?
I can't see how it would refer to total weight.
Seems it sould be refering to the tongue weight, but I'm not certain,
thus the question.

(It's on a Ford Explorer Sport 2wd rated at 5500#.)

** should only be used to tow 2000 lb trailer/boat.
Believe this is a class 1

Probably total weight. It likely is a smaller diameter thread for Call II
applications.
