Getting a trailer hitch installation to tow a trailer
When the time comes to rent a trailer, many people will also need to purchase and install a trailer hitch as well. This includes the main hitch that is attached to the frame of your vehicle, the ball mount, and the hitch ball. These three components in tandem are necessary to secure a trailer to your vehicle. Keep in mind towing capacity is dependent upon the restrictions of the lowest rating within this system. For example, if the main hitch capacity is 3,500 lbs. and the hitch ball has a 2,000 lbs. capacity, then you will be limited to the weight the ball can safely carry.
Worried about what hitch to purchase and installing the hitch system correctly? Then leave it to the experts! If you are using a rental facility to rent a trailer, chances are they can tell you if a towing system will work for your vehicle, find the best system for your car or truck to tow your load, and do the full installation.
During the reservation process, rental facilities like U-Haul will ask for specific details about your vehicle in order to match you with the correct trailer hitches. They will install the system to ensure your load can attach securely and will help you learn how to use it properly. But their service doesn’t end there! U-Haul also offers a lifetime warranty and guaranteed repair or replacement of the hitch for any reason, including corrosion or damage.
