    These inserts allow you to connect a drawbar coupler to a hitch receiver on a vehicle for towing. Fit them into a receiver and mount a coupler to the mounting plate. The more mounting holes a plate has, the more you can adjust the position of the coupler to match the height of your trailer.
    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.
    Powder-Coated Steel—Powder-coated inserts are more corrosion resistant than painted inserts.
