Hitches
A hitch is a
bolt-in accessory that is used to lift up and apply leverage to the
tow vehicle when towing. It can be installed to tow trailers, motorcycles,
bikes, garden tractors and other items.
Two general types
of hitches exist: the weight-carrying hitches and the weight-distributing
hitches. Weight-carrying hitches are often used when towing lighter
loads while weight-distributing hitches are generally used for larger,
heavier trails.
Through innovative
designs engineered to fit specific vehicle applications, most hitches
nowadays can be easily installed with no extra modifications like drilling
or welding. On most applications, hitch installation can take only thirty
minutes or less. When installing, make sure the spare tire and the tail
pipe are properly mounted.
Follow the installation
instructions of the hitch supplier. Always remember to use a hitch that
is strong enough to handle the maximum anticipated total weight of the
trailer. The weight, however, should not exceed the towing capacity
of the vehicle.
Whatever vehicle
type you have, there's a hitch just for you. Today's market offers a
variety of hitches for a wide range of domestic and import vehicles.
Just make sure to choose the proper hitch for your specific vehicle
make and you're good to go.
