SKYSHALO - Hitches - The Home Depot

Question 1

How do I know what size trailer hitch I need?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you're towing. First, check your vehicle's owner's manual for the maximum towing capacity. Then, determine the weight of your trailer. Once you know the weight, you can find a hitch with a matching or higher weight capacity. Always choose a hitch rated for at least the weight of your trailer.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

One of our top-rated SKYSHALO hitches is the Weight Distribution Hitch Kit 2 in. Shank Weight Distributing Hitch 2.5 in. Drop, 6.5 in. Rise (15K lbs., 35 in. Bars).

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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.
