How To Hook Up A Trailer

Select the Correct Hitch Ball

Ensure that you have the correct ball size on your hitch. The hitch attached to your vehicle is semi-permanent, meaning that it’s difficult to remove. The ball on the hitch, however, is very simple to change out, as different types of trailers and couplers use different size balls. The size will be stamped on the top of the ball. To change it out, remove the pin that holds it in place and pull upward. The new one will slide into place and should be locked in place with the holding pin.
