Trailer Hitch

DropHitch.com is proud to sell Curt trailer hitches. We hope you find that our website is among the easiest to use in finding a quality trailer hitch for you car, van, truck or SUV. Trailer hitches are broken down into categories based on their weight capabilities. These categories are class 1 through 5. A trailer hitch rating increases as the class number increases. For instance a class 1 trailer hitch is rated below a class 2 trailer hitch in weight carrying ability. It is important to remember that even though your trailer hitch may be rated at a certain weight, your vehicle may be rated far below the trailer hitch rating. It is always recommended that you stay within the towing capabilities specified in your vehicle owners manual.
