Check out our wide array of trailer hitch balls and ball mounts. You’re sure to find the perfect size hitch ball (or set of balls) to accommodate your setup(s). We have adjustable ball mounts for those who have multiple towing setups as well as fixed ball mounts for those that don’t. If you’re looking to give your trailer a smoother ride and eliminate that sway, grab one of our weight distribution hitches. We have systems that reduce sway and those that prevent sway altogether. We even have weight distribution hitches that allow backing up.

Brake controllers are a must when hauling a heavy load. In fact, most of the time it is a requirement. We have brake controllers that work with electric, electric over hydraulic, or air to electric brakes. Choose from a proportional brake controller so your trailer will brake with your vehicle, or a time-delayed brake controller for a more cost effective option . Don’t forget that much needed brake controller wiring.

With over 75 years of assisting our neighbors and customers, over 1 million photos and videos taken to make sure you’re getting exactly what you need, and over 35 thousand installations completed, we’ve got the product know-how and experience to help you make the right choices for the job at hand.

What do I need to tow a trailer safely?

To tow a trailer, you’ll need a few key components. First, a trailer hitch that matches your vehicle’s towing capacity. Then, a ball mount and hitch ball to connect the trailer. A wiring harness ensures your trailer lights work with your vehicle, and if your trailer has brakes, you’ll need a brake controller to help manage stopping power. Making sure you have the right setup before hitting the road keeps towing safe and stress-free.

How do I pick the right hitch for my vehicle?

Hitches come in different classes, and the right one depends on how much weight you plan to tow. Lighter loads may only need a Class I or II hitch, while heavier trailers will require a Class III, IV, or even V. It’s also important to check your vehicle’s towing capacity in the owner’s manual—having the right hitch doesn’t help if your vehicle isn’t rated to tow the load.

Do I really need a brake controller for my trailer?

If your trailer has its own brakes, a brake controller is a must. It syncs your trailer’s braking with your tow vehicle, making stops smoother and safer, especially when hauling heavy loads. Without one, your tow vehicle’s brakes do all the work, which can cause longer stopping distances and extra wear on your system.

What does a weight distribution hitch actually do?

A weight distribution hitch helps spread the trailer’s weight more evenly across your vehicle’s axles, which reduces sagging, improves steering, and makes braking more effective. It also helps with stability, reducing the bouncing and swaying that can happen when towing heavier loads—especially at highway speeds or in windy conditions.
