Pintle Hook Trailer Hitch

Question 1

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.

Question 2

Can I install a trailer hitch myself?

Accepted Answer

Installing a trailer hitch is straightforward and can be done by someone with basic DIY skills. However, it's important to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully and ensure you have the proper tools and equipment. If you're unsure, having a professional install it is always best.

Question 3

What is the trailer hitch receiver size?

Accepted Answer

The receiver size is the opening on the hitch where you insert the ball mount. Standard receiver sizes are 1 ¼ inches and 2 inches. The receiver size determines the type of ball mount you can use and will correspond to the size of the ball on the trailer.

Question 4

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 5

Which hitches are the best selling?

Accepted Answer

The Receiver-Mount Pintle Hook (2 in. Shank, 20,000 lbs., 2-1/2 in. Lunette Rings) is one of our best-selling hitches.

Question 6
