Aluminum - Hitches - The Home Depot

Question 1

How do I choose the right trailer hitch for my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Start by checking your vehicle's make, model, and year to ensure the hitch is compatible with your specific car. The weight you plan to tow will determine the required hitch strength, so consider both your trailer's size and what you'll be hauling.

Question 2

Do trailer hitches come in different classes?

Accepted Answer

Trailer hitches come in five classes that match different vehicle types and towing needs. Starting with Class 1 for cars and small crossovers (up to 2,000 lbs), the classes progress through to Class 5 for heavy-duty commercial trucks (up to 20,000 lbs). Most everyday trucks and SUVs use Class 3 hitches, which have a 2-inch receiver and can handle up to 8,000 lbs. Each hitch class uses specific receiver sizes (1-1/4 inch, 2 inch, or 2-1/2 inch), and choosing one that matches both your vehicle's capabilities and your towing requirements is essential.
