PinterestHow To Choose The Correct Trailer Ball
Tuesday, December 13, 2011 — 3 Comments
| What Do I Need To Consider When Choosing A Hitch Ball? A trailer hitch ball is the towing accessory that attaches to the ball mount and provides the connection from the trailer hitch to the trailer. The trailer ball is gripped by the coupler and held into place on the trailer's frame. Trailer hitch balls are sold in different ball sizes, shank lengths, diameters and capacities. |
Trailer Ball Diameter:
The ball size is determined by the size of the trailer coupler.
Trailer Ball Shank Size:
The ball mount determines the ball shank (hole that ball goes into) diameter and ball shank length. The shank sizes are determined by the class of trailer hitch you have.
Class I & II: 3/4" Diameter
Class III & IV: 1" Diameter
Class IV & V: 1.25" Diameter
Trailer Ball Capacity:
The weight rating of the hitch ball should be equal to the weight rating of your trailer hitch and ball mount.
