Hitch Inserts
Use these inserts in hitch-ball connections for towing. They fit into a receiver that's attached to a vehicle. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the hitch ball.
Combination ball/eyes give you the versatility of mating with a drawbar ring or hitch-ball coupler.
Multi-size hitch balls provide two or three sizes in one. The larger hitch ball sizes have higher capacities.
Eyes and combination ball/eyes with multi-size hitch balls allow for more range of movement than ball hitches, making them good for use on uneven surfaces. Since they can also tow higher capacities than ball hitches, they’re often used to haul large items.

Drawbar Couplers
Also known as pintle hitches, these are used with drawbar rings to connect a trailer to your vehicle for towing. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the drawbar ring or hitch ball. Use Grade 8 fasteners (included with some couplers) for mounting. Mount couplers directly to a vehicle or use a mounting plate insert to mount them to a hitch receiver. See Mounting Plate Inserts for Drawbar Couplers and Hitch Receivers.
Combination ball/eye couplers include a ball for use with hitch-ball connections.
Couplers with a vertical latch move up to open. They are the most common type. Couplers with a horizontal latch swing open sideways. Use these if there is not enough space above the coupler to open a vertical latch.
Note: Capacity is reduced 25% in off-road use.
