Suppose you're new to bumper towing or looking to upgrade your hitch. In either case, it's important to have a basic understanding of hitch components and which one will best meet your broad trailering needs. Joey Nelson of Joe's Garage explains the most common hitch types, ranging from standard receiver hitches with a short drop and single ball to adjustable receivers that offer multiple ball sizes and hitch positions.
GEAR USED:
• B&W Tow and Stow Trailer Hitch: wired2.fish/TowAndStowHitch
Just as no two trucks or trailers are the same, Joe is a big proponent of multi-ball adjustable hitches for quick on the fly adjustments. They match ball size and allow you to level your trailer. Additionally, Nelson discusses hitch shank size, shank hole considerations, and how to keep trailer hitches in good working order. Whichever product you go with, make sure your truck, hitch and trailer fall within the tongue and overall trailer weight specifications. Doing so will ensure you're towing safely and legally.

If u have one tow vehicle and one trailer, is a fixed hitch good enough?

My Titan is rate for something like 9000lbs BUT it didnt come with a tow package so the aftermarket Curt hitch has a 6000/10,000 weight distribution rating.. my reciever is rated at 7500lbs.. From what Ive heard you always go by the lowest number of whatever component so Im wondering if i can buy a hitch rated closer to 10k lbs without weight distribution to get closer to my trucks max town cap... I dont tow hardly ever but doing quick math if i had a full size car/truck plus a trailer id be close to or possibly over the limit of 6k without a weight distribution. Id like to be setup to where if I had to ai could tow closer to that 9k and not be handicapped by the hitch rating.. The question arose because lately i was thinking about possibly buying a 1/2ton project truck and then considering the weight+a 2000lb trailer id be close to or over the 6k limit of the hitch.

I have a 2016 Kia Sorento CUV and trying to find the information needed for a towing package and not sure what information to look at and how to figure towing weights It is a surprise to husband so I am doing this without him knowing

@dannymorgan6053 2 года назад

Great info. I have a question not covered in vid. Receiver mating tolerances. How much movement in the insertable part is ok? Some clunking over bumps and changing speed is normal or not?

@Wired2Fish 2 года назад

Good question Danny! A little play between the hitch and receiver is normal. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer specification so you're sized appropriately and you'll be good to go.

I just bought my 2022 Ram 3500. The old hitches I used on my 1500 won’t work with my new truck. So I was looking at these adjustable hitch heights. I have three trailers and all three have different heights. When I don’t use my hitch I put it away. It’s a pet peeve of mine and I know some of you folks have had your shin or knee meet someone hitch that sticks a foot from the truck. So I store mine away. What is the reliability between aluminum and steel?

@Wired2Fish Год назад

We're the same. Lots of different trailer types, so the adjustable hitch and various ball sizes have been a huge plus for how we operate. I've personally owned both aluminum and coated steel. Both work well and are highly resistant to corrosion. My personal favorite has been BW steel hitches. Made in America, build quality is exceptional, as is the adjustment mechanics for hitch height adjustment, ball swapping (easy head rotation), and stowing position. I also regularly "invert" the hitch to adjust it higher with high-tongued or heavy trailers (to keep the trailer level even with significant suspension squat). - Ryan

Hi there. I have a lot of questions regarding towing a trailer. Where can I contact you guys??

@Mixwell1983 Год назад

I actually did some research and saw there was an 8000/12000lb hitch for my truck so i went ahead and orderee it.. Some of the weight distribution receivers cost as much as just buying an upgraded hitch so that's what I went with

Half ton truck ;)

@williamdomey7584 3 года назад

Would this hitch work on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee?

@Wired2Fish 3 года назад

Depends on what size hitch you have mounted to it.

@78ginop 3 года назад

Why I put mine in it's got a little bit of play in it. Is this normal? 2011 f150

@Wired2Fish 3 года назад

A little play is perfectly normal, we have the same with our trucks.

Get a hitch stabilizer. They go for about $25 and definitely quiets the ride.
