By the proper size for your towing vehicle

April 28, 2008 3:13 pm admin Miscellaneous

When buying new trailer hitches, it is essential that they be properly sized — not just for the trailer itself, but also for the vehicle that will be used to tow it. The big question is: how do I know what is the proper size? This is where having an experienced dealer can come in handy — they will know what hitch should be used with your particular model of trailer, and can recommend a model that will work well with your particular towing vehicle, as well. An improperly-sized hitch may not function properly, or could even pose a safety hazard, if it should become detached during transport.
