Reese - Hitches - The Home Depot

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

Which Reese hitches are the top rated?

Accepted Answer

The Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - 9" X 11", 5000 Lbs. Or 9" X 9-34", 3,500 Lbs. is one of our top-rated Reese hitches.

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

What is a trailer hitch ball mount, and how do I install it?

Accepted Answer

A trailer hitch ball mount attaches to the trailer hitch receiver and holds the trailer ball. It's typically made of steel or aluminum and comes in various drop heights to accommodate different vehicle and trailer combinations. You'll usually need a wrench to tighten the bolt that secures it to the receiver for installation. You'll also want to ensure the ball mount is centered and level.

Question 5

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.
