I'm looking at getting an adjustable height hitch for my 2017. As I'm sure you know, it has a 3" receiver with sleeves for 2.5" and 2" hitches. My vehicle configuration is rated for 15,000 lbs conventional towing, which I think a 2" shank can handle. My question for you is, though, is it worth getting a larger shank? The cost isn't that much different and I wouldn't have to mess with the sleeves. What am I not thinking about?

I might be wrong but i thought that 2" max was 12000lbs....

Bigger is better ! Go with the 2.5" ... The ratings are higher and the cost is minimal.

I have 2 Air hitches for my trucks. First one that I bough was a 2" and then second was a 2.5" ( could not pass up the deal ) The 2.5" is a lot more stout !

Hmm... Yes, there is much variation across manufacturers (ignoring the ball size limitations, of course).

What are people's opinions on the Weight Safe brand compared to B&W and Gen-Y?

That Weight Safe is really nice....though pricey...

I went with the 2.5" on my 2014 just to avoid the hassle of the bushing. Now, on the 2017, I'm going to have a bushing, but at least it's only one. The 3" receiver seems to be a waste until there is a ready supply of 3" ball mounts. The B&W Tow and Stow does look interesting, but damn, it's expensive.
