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.

Drawbar Rings

 4 |  5 |  6 |
 7 |  8 |
These rings mount to a trailer and connect to the drawbar coupler or tow hook on a vehicle to create a towing connection. 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.
Style 2 have a pivoting shackle, so you can tow at an angle. They come with a locking pin.
Styles 3 and 8 are adjustable, so you can create towing connections with vehicles of different heights. Side bolts are included.
Style 7 have prongs to weld them to the outside end of a rectangular tube or channel. The prongs distribute the load evenly for extra stability.
Powder-coated and zinc-plated rings are more corrosion resistant than black-oxide steel rings. Corrosion-resistant-coated rings offer the most corrosion resistance.
Note: Capacity is reduced 25% in off-road use.

Tow Hooks
Add an anchor point to pull stuck vehicles out of mud, snow, or ditches. Mount these hooks to a bumper or trailer and then attach a tow strap or chain. The maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed.
Weld-on hooks have a narrow throat and curved profile, so chains will catch and not slip off.
Double hooks bolt to both sides of a vehicle for balanced towing. You can also use only one of the hooks to tow, but someone must counter-steer in the towed vehicle to keep it in a straight line.
Powder-coated steel hooks offer more corrosion resistance than uncoated steel in wet environments.
Note: Capacity is reduced 25% in off-road use.
