Click here for email Class 1 Hitches
This is the lightest type of trailer hitch. A Class 1 trailer hitch can handle a
gross trailer weight (GTW) of up to 2,000 lbs., and a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs.
The hitch may be a simple drawbar-type hitch or step bumper-type hitch. Other hitches
may have a crossbar with a small one-inch or 1-1/2-inch square receiver, or a
small 2-inch by 5/8-inch receiver. This type of hitch is often used on smaller
cars, smaller pickups and smaller vans (minivans) for bicycle racks, camping racks,
and light-duty towing. We sell many fine class 1 hitches as well as an economical,
easy to install (do-it-yourself) Class 1 trailer hitch.
Class 2 Hitches
Class 2 hitches are for loads of up to 3,500 lbs. GTW and 300 lbs. tongue weight such as a small
boat trailer, snowmobile trailer, motorcycle trailer or camper. This type of trailer hitch is
appropriate for larger cars, full-size vans, full-size pickups and SUVs. Many of our class 2
hitches are designed specifically for your vehicle, and we have some universal class 2
trailer hitches as well.
Class 3 Hitches
Class 3 hitches are for 3501 to 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. tongue weight. This type of
hitch generally has a 2-inch rectangular receiver and is considered the "standard" type of hitch for
general towing. Most of our class III hitches are designed specifically for your vehicle. There are
also some universal-fit class III trailer hitches available.
Class 4 Hitches
Class 4 hitches are for 5001 to 10,000 lbs. GTW and 1,000 to 1,200 lbs. of tongue weight. This type
of hitch is usually a weight-distributing hitch. We carry many fine class IV hitches that are
designed specifically for your vehicle.
Class 5 Hitches
Class 5 hitches are for extra heavy loads greater than 10,000 lbs. GTW and more
than 1,200 lbs. tongue weight. This type of hitch is usually a weight-distributing
hitch. This type of hitch may have up to a 2-1/2 inch receiver with a 3/4-inch pinhole.
Typical uses might be to tow a car trailer, horse trailer or unusually
large boat or camper.
Always consult your owners manual before you tow. Please check and
verify your vehicals specs - hitch, toungue weight, max towing capsity, etc, etc. before towing
