Note that the large ball that is used for the Airstream hitch can come in a
range of capacities (which is stamped on the top of the ball).
Just because it is the right physical size doesn't guarantee that it is
rated strong enough.
My advice would be, of course, to go for the strongest one available - at
least 10,000 lb. capacity. Overkill here is a very smart idea, and not
overkill at all.

Excellent comment there.
And that is the reason everyone should visually inspect all hitching
equipment prior to towing regardless of age or millage.
The quality note you made also applies to any equipment purchase.
Also, Just because it is premium price doesn't mean it is premium quality.
Go with a brand name rather than an off or unknown brand.
It is also a good idea to get tow equipment that is rated over what your
towing. Say, if your towing a 4000 or 5000 lb trailer. get a 6000 lb or
higher tow rating on the tow hardware if possible.
