Reese Towpower Tactical Towing Starter Kit Class V 2 Drop

The trailer hitch specifications are as follows:

2-inch Drop: The hitch receiver has a 2-inch drop, which means the trailer ball is positioned 2 inches below the level of the vehicle's towing surface. This drop helps to keep the trailer level and balanced when attached to the vehicle.

3/4-inch Rise: The trailer ball itself has a 3/4-inch rise, which compensates for the 2-inch drop of the hitch receiver. The combination of the drop and the rise ensures that the trailer's coupler aligns properly with the tow vehicle's ball mount.

2-inch Ball Size: The trailer ball diameter is 2 inches, which is a standard size for many trailer applications. This ball size provides a secure and stable connection between the trailer and the tow vehicle.

5/8-inch Pin and Clip: The hitch pin that secures the trailer ball to the hitch receiver has a diameter of 5/8 inches. This pin is then secured in place using a clip or safety pin, ensuring a tight and reliable connection.

600/6000 lbs Capacity: The trailer hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 600 pounds and a gross trailer weight capacity of 6,000 pounds. These ratings indicate the maximum weight that the hitch can safely support, ensuring the stability and safety of the towing setup.

The 2-inch drop of the hitch receiver, combined with the 3/4-inch rise of the trailer ball, creates a level and balanced connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer. This configuration helps to distribute the weight evenly and maintain proper handling characteristics during towing.

The 2-inch ball size is a common and widely used standard, providing a secure and stable attachment point for the trailer's coupler. The 5/8-inch pin and clip further reinforce the connection, ensuring a reliable and safe towing experience.

The capacity ratings of 600 pounds for tongue weight and 6,000 pounds for gross trailer weight indicate the maximum load that the hitch can accommodate. These specifications should be carefully considered when selecting a tow vehicle and trailer to ensure that the overall setup does not exceed the hitch's limitations, which could compromise safety and performance.

By understanding and properly adhering to these trailer hitch specifications, users can ensure a secure, stable, and safe towing experience, minimizing the risk of accidents or damage to the towing setup.
