trailer hitches
Truck-to-trailer links
Trailer hitches are devices that connect a trailer to a towing vehicle.
Mounted to the vehicle's frame or bumper, they provide the coupling point for trailers carrying boats, campers, utility loads, or other cargo.
Hitches come in classes rated by towing capacity: You'll need at least a Class III hitch to tow that camper.
The ball mount is the most common type for consumer use.
