TRAILERING
HITCH
The total weight of your loaded trailer must not exceed
the capacity marker on the hitch of your tow vehicle.
Overloading can cause hitch failure leading to injury-
causing accidents.
Hitches are divided into classes that specify the gross
trailer weight (GTW) and maximum tongue weight for each
class. Always use a hitch with the same class number as
the trailer. Most boat trailers connect to a ball hitch that is
bolted or welded to the towing vehicle. Special heavy-duty
equalizing hitches are necessary for trailer tongue weights
of 350 pounds (158 kg) or greater.
The trailer hitch coupler must match the size of the hitch
ball. The correct ball diameter is marked on the trailer
coupler.
