Types Of Trailer Hitches We Install
We offer hitch installation for all types of needs for Arizona residents. The hitch installation services we provide include but are not limited to:
Receiver Hitches Class 1-5
Receiver Hitches
Bumper Hitches – Bumper hitches feature a 2 x 2″ inch tube opening and are mounted on the bumper of the vehicle instead of the frame. Towing capacities are light duty and based on the vehicle’s towing ability and bumper strength.
Front Mount Hitches – Front mount hitches are popular for use with trucks, vans, and some suvs. These hitches also feature a 2 x 2″ hitch and generally have a load capacity of 5,000 lbs. Front mounted hitches allow for front cargo carries which leave room at the rear of the vehicle for trailers or other towing needs.
Specialized Hitch Installation
Specialized hitches are generally designed for heavy duty towing and other weight stabilization applications.
Weight Distribution Hitches
When trailers or loads that are set on the back of trucks are too high it will cause the back of the truck to bow down and off set the steering of the vehicle. Weight distribution hitches are designed to resolve this issues by using spring bars to distribute the weight better between the trailer and the tow vehicle. Weight distribution hitches are compatible with Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5 trailer hitch systems. Distribute the weight correctly and tow safely with weight distribution.
Gooseneck Hitch Installation
Gooseneck hitches are popular with livestock, agriculture, and the construction industry as they place the weight of the trailer directly over the rear axle and allow for much higher towing capacity. The load capacity of Gooseneck hitches is up to 30,000 lbs (GTW). This means towing heavy equipment, livestock such as cattle or horses, and tractors is within reach of heavy duty trucks. The best designs of Gooseneck hitches allow for the ball to be flipped over or removed to leave your truck bed empty and ready for hauling cargo.
5th Wheel Hitch Installation
Fifth wheel hitches are designed to help tow recreational trailers and more and are another design of heavy duty hitch. These hitches can tow between 16,000 and 25,000 lbs and are generally used for campers, car haulers, and other recreational uses. 5th wheel hitches are installed in about the same place as a Gooseneck hitch to distribute the weight right over the axle.
Pintle Hitch Type Installation
Pintle hitches are popular in the agriculture and heavy equipment industries and feature a hook and lunette hitching system. Towing capacities can go as high as 60,000 lbs (GTW). While the hitch might be able to handle incredibly high weight care should be taken in choosing the right vehicle for heavy duty towing needs and not to exceed the capabilities of your truck.
More About Our Hitches
Read more about each type of hitch below. Give us all call for questions or more information about our hitch installation services.
Fifth Wheel Hitches
The road calls for many Arizona residents to break from routine and experience adventure. Properly installed 5th wheel hitches make towing your 5th wheel trailer safe and carefree. Curt 5th Wheel Hitches help you tow confidently and safely.
Companion Sliders
Adventure of the road can lead us to some tight spots and narrow roads. A companion slider allows 5th wheel hitch positions to be moved to allow for greater maneuverability. Sliders are removable so your truck bed is empty and ready when you’re not towing.
Front Mount Receiver Hitches
Front mounted hitches are excellent for safely towing your personal vehicle with you behind your RV. Visiting lots of areas both rural and big city mean tight spaces and small parking lots. Having your car or suv with you makes it so you can explore without having to maneuver the RV everywhere you want to see.
Towbars
RVs are connected to tow vehicles via tow bars. The tow bar is mounted on the back of the RV and connects to the tow vehicle through a front mounted hitch for safe towing. Some additional hardware is sometimes necessary to establish a rock solid towing connection.
Trailer Hitches
The most common type of trailer hitch by far this is the most popular truck accessory. Dealerships do not always include them with the purchase of a truck. We will install your trailer hitch so you can use what your truck was designed for. We also offer the stinger insert which is also known as the hitch ball.
Gooseneck Hitches
Gooseneck hitches are serious trailer and towing hitches for when you have a big job to do. Construction companies, farmers, and livestock ranchers choose this hitch type because it helps distribute the weight forward of the rear axle and can get the job done. The tow weight for Gooseneck hitches are considerably higher than standard trailer hitches. Let us help you choose the right hitch for your heavy duty needs.
Weight Distribution Hitches
There are many towing needs which trucks can handle but end up causing the rear end of the truck to bow down. To fix this weight distribution hitches use springs to level the truck back out. This helps preserve the safety of the truck’s steering, handling, and braking. In addition weight distribution hitches help alleviate trailer sway.
