F.A.Q.'s

Q: What exactly is the hitch?
A: The hitch (receiver) is the part that is installed directly onto your vehicle to allow it to tow.


Q: How do I know what my ball height should be? 
A: The trailer should be level, measure from the ground to the top of the coupler to get a correct ball height. Most common ball heights are between 17" and 19".

Q: What is a ball mount?
A: A ball mount is the piece that slides into the hitch on your vehicle and holds the ball.



Q:What is the main cause for lights not working?
A:Bad Ground Connection.

Q: What is a coupler?
A: The coupler is the part that is welded or bolted onto the end of the trailer that goes onto the ball.

Q: My bike mount moves around in my hitch, is this normal?
A: Yes, if it didn't move around it would be too hard to put in and out of the hitch. There are anti-rattle devices which help stabilize the bike mounts, ball mounts, and cargo carriers.
