WARNING!
It is important that you do not exceed the maximum

The frontal area is the maximum height multiplied by the
maximum width of the front of a trailer.

installed between the hitch receiver and the trailer tongue
that typically provides adjustable friction associated with

swaying motions while traveling.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue
weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball or
some other connecting point of the vehicle. These kinds
of hitches are the most popular on the market today and
