The Benefits of a Class 3 Trailer Hitch

February 9th, 2012

Trailer hitches are given a “class” rating that defines their towing capacity and receiver opening size, with classes range from class I to class V. We have already explained the differences between each type of trailer hitch class. Now, we are going to focus our attention on one hitch in particular – the class 3 hitch.

The Benefits of a Class III Trailer Hitch include:

  • A class 3 heavy-duty hitch is the type of hitch considered for general towing.
  • A class III hitch can handle a gross trailer weight (GTW) of up to 5,000 lbs.
  • A class III towing hitch can handle a maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs.
  • Class III hitches are ideal for towing midsize campers and boats.
  • A class III heavy-duty hitch can be installed on most midsize and full-size pickup trucks, vans and SUVs.

A class 3 hitch is the third lightest hitch on the market. Typically installed on vans, SUVs, and trucks, these hitches are best suited for towing midsize trailers, campers, and boats. For more heavy duty towing, you should consider a class 4 trailer hitch or higher.

To find out if a Class 3 Trailer Hitch is tough enough to handle your towing needs, contact Trick Trucks to talk to one of our experts. Trick Trucks carries an extensive line of towing products, so we know what we are talking about. We sell and install trailer hitches for every make and model vehicle, from cars and small trucks, to large pickups capable of towing boats, campers, RVs, horse trailers and heavy commercial equipment.
