Trailer Adapter - Hitches - The Home Depot

Question 1

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 2

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.
