Trailer Towing Tips Trailer Hitch
Trailer Towing Tips Problem And Solution - Knowing Towing
The type of hitch you use makes a huge difference in towing capacity. This is a weight-distributing hitch. WD hitches are not supplied by the OE manufacturer, but always specified as necessary for higher towing capacity. It consists of a system of draw bar, matched hitch ball, spring bars and snap-up brackets. It distributes the tongue load between the truck and trailer, practically doubling the amount you can tow. For even higher towing capacities, a bed-mounted gooseneck hitch can tow a trailer configured as a fifth wheel. It's not uncommon to see towing ratings of fifth-wheel trailers as high as 25,000 pounds and more. With just a regular, weight-carrying hitch, the maximum trailer weight for the same 1-ton pickup might be 8,000 pounds or less. View Related Article
