Factory hitch?

I was wondering the wieght limits. I have a 3500 dually ctd 4x4. It can carry 5,000 lbs, 500 lbs tongue wieght. With distribtion set up it can carry 12,000 lbs, 1,200 tongue wieght. Is this right?


Edit: My bad on the title. Not paying attention. Supposed to be Factory Hitch?

Correct, your receiver with a weight distributing hitch is rated for 12K and 1200 pounds of hitch weight.

Good point. I presumed that it was a third gen. Prior years were lower rated.
