How do I know what size trailer hitch I need?

It depends on what you're towing. First, check your vehicle's owner's manual for the maximum towing capacity. Then, determine the weight of your trailer. Once you know the weight, you can find a hitch with a matching or higher weight capacity. Always choose a hitch rated for at least the weight of your trailer.
