Types Of Trailer Hitches We Install
We are able to provide all types of hitch installations for Arizona residents. Below are hitch installation services that we are able to provide, but are not limited to:
Receiver Hitches Class 1-5
Receiver Hitches (Continued)
Bumper Hitches – Featuring a 2×2” tube opening, this hitch type is mounted to the vehicle’s bumper, not the frame. These are more for light duty towing, based on the bumper strength and towing ability of the vehicle.
Front Mount Hitches – This type of hitch is popular among vans, trucks, and SUVs. They are also known as 2×2” hitch and typically have a 5,000lb load capacity. A front mount hitch enables cargo to be carried in front, while leaving room in the rear for trailers and other towing.
Specialized & Heavy Duty Hitch Installation
Typically, specialized hitches are designed for heavier towing duties and applications or weight stabilization.
Weight Distribution Hitches
When the load or trailer on the back of a truck is too high, it can result in the truck to bow downward, this offsets steering. The design of weight distribution hitches can help to resolve this problem by utilizing spring bars that distribute weight more evenly between the tow vehicle and trailer. A weight distribution hitch is compatible with Class 5, Class 4 and Class 3 trailer hitch systems. Property weight distribution is important for a safer tow.
Gooseneck Hitch Installation
The gooseneck hitch is popular among agriculture, livestock, and construction as they are designed to put trailer weight directly over the vehicles rear axle, enabling for a higher tow capacity. A Gooseneck hitch has a load capacity up to 30,000lbs (GTW). This allows towing heavier equipment, such as livestock and tractors is possible with heavy duty trucks. Gooseneck hitches with the best designs are those which allow for the ball to be flipped or removed to easily prepare the truck for cargo hauling.
5th Wheel Hitch Installation
The 5th wheel hitch has a design focusing on enabling recreational trailer towing and often used as a heavy duty hitch. This type of hitch is capable of towing up to 25,000lbs and commonly used for car haulers, campers, or other recreational use. To evenly distribute weight over the rear axle, a 5th wheel hitch is installed about the same place as Gooseneck hitches.
Pintle Hitch Type Installation
Another popular hitch type is the Pintle hitch, often used in heavy equipment industries and agriculture. It features a lunette hitching system and hook. The tow capacity is up to 60,000lbs (GTW) Although the hitch can handle an incredibly high load weight, caution needs to be taken to determine the proper vehicle for the heavier duty tow requirements, avoid exceeding the load capacity of your truck.

Companion Sliders

When adventure takes you to tight pots or narrow roadways, having a companion slider enables the 5th wheel hitch to move positions to give more maneuverability. A slider can be removed so the truck bed is ready for cargo loads.
Front Mount Receiver Hitches

Front mounted hitches are great for additional cargo space or even for use when towing vehicles behind RV’s. Either way you will have extra space for cargo or a vehicle to use for day trips and exploring narrow city and forest roads. Hook up and detach for these hitches is easy and only takes a few moments.
Towbars

Towbars allow the connection between RVs and tow vehicle. A towbargets mounted on the rear of the RV, connecting with the tow vehicle with a front mount hitch. It is sometimes needed for additional hardware to ensure the towing connection is solid.
Trailer Hitches

This is the most commonly used hitch available, especially when it comes to truck accessories. While they may be included at the dealership, this is not always the case. We are able to install trailer hitches so you can use your truck for towing as it was designed too. We can also provide the stinger inert, which is commonly referred to as the hitch ball.
Gooseneck Hitches

A Gooseneck hitch is a heavy duty trailer and towing hitch used on larger jobs. Commonly used by farmers, construction companies, and livestock ranchers due to the assisted weight distribution to the rear axle. It is able to safely get the job done as needed, and their tow weight is much more than a standard trailer hitch. Allow us to help you determine the best hitch for your heavy duty hauling.
Weight Distribution Hitches
Trucks have many types of towing requirements, but can lead to the rear of the truck bowing downwards. A weight distribution hitch is able to resolve this issue by the use of springs which level out the trucks rear. This will assist with preserving the trucks steering abilities, along with braking and handling during towing. Additionally, a weight distribution hitch is able to alleviate trailer swaying.
