The vehicle I'll be towing weighs in at approx 2800 lbs and the trailer will be a uhaul rental (until i save up some money to get one of my own). So I think we're talking about 5000 lbs. Here is the vehicle:
Can anyone give me some suggestions on the type of ball mount I should get?
DO I need a WD system? Or can I do ok with a weight bearing ballmount? |
Go to Wally World and buy three different ball mounts with different drops and hitch your trailer to each one to see which one works best. Take the others back to Wally World that you did not use and get your money back.
I like the Convert-a-Ball system for hitch balls. I have three different hitch balls to go with it that I change out without useing tools. This comes in handy more often than I thought that it would.
Last, get a pin with a lock so that your ball mount, hitch ball, and pin won't get stolen.
