U-Haul Trailer Hitches

Most vehicles do not have any specific requirements to have a trailer hitch installed. We always suggest that you add trailer wiring while installing your trailer hitch, as it is required by law in most states if you are towing a trailer.

We have the most extensive inventory available and even offer custom services for vehicles with no trailer hitch. Please visit our website to see if we can install or offer a trailer hitch for your vehicle.

The difference between trailer hitch classes is typically their weight capacity ratings. A class 3 hitch will have a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) rating of up to 8,000 pounds (about 3628.74 kg), and a Class 4 hitch can have up to 10,000 pounds (about 4535.92 kg). Not all vehicles will have multiple trailer hitch classes to choose from, but some do. Please visit our website to see what is available for your vehicle.

While there are more than three types of hitches, the three most common would be a rear-mounted receiver hitch, a front-mounted receiver hitch, and heavy-duty hitches like a Gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch.

Installation times will vary based on many factors. While the average time for installation is 2-3 hours, please note that every vehicle is different, and the options you choose can increase or decrease this estimate.

Most passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks will take a 1.25" or 2" receiver trailer hitch, depending on the weight capacity you are looking to tow. Things to consider are accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Typically, as the size increases on the receiver, the tongue weight and towing capacity will increase.

The cost of installation depends on your vehicle and hitch options. Most of our hitch installation packages include a wiring kit, trailer hitch, and accessories to ensure you leave with everything you need to begin towing. Please visit our website for a custom quote to fit your needs.
