my thoughts:

05 cummins

02 arctic fox fifth wheel trailer, 25footer

triple my tandem axle car hauler with jeep on back.

I searched around to find capacities on rear hitch on arctic fox, no real luck.

I see locally, guys pulling triples with similar length trailers and big-ass deep v boats, no problem. Any thoughts since I can balance my jeep weight over both axles on the car hauler, not much tongue weight, just concerned if rear hitch is class rated enough.

Any one have idea what the northwood manufacturing, arctic fox, 24-5n model with slide, rear hitch rating is?

it has dual brakes as well as the arctic fox is prewired for them, 8 pin connector i believe.
plus my controller can manage 8 axles, well thats what the user guide says.

You still need enough tongue weight or the tag trailer will try and "wag the dog".
