FAQ

How do I pick the right hitch ball size?
Match the ball diameter to the size stamped on your trailer coupler, commonly 1-7/8, 2, or 2-5/16 inches. Using the wrong size is unsafe.
What does the weight rating mean?
The rating is the maximum trailer weight the ball and mount can safely handle. Choose components rated at or above your loaded trailer weight.
What is a drop or rise mount for?
A drop or rise ball mount adjusts the ball height so the trailer rides level with your vehicle, which improves towing stability.
