TRAILER HITCHES COME IN TWO PRIMARY CONFIGURATIONS:
- Receiver-type hitches consist of a portion that mounts to the towbar of the vehicle that has a rearward-facing opening that accepts removable ball mounts, hitch bike racks, cargo carriers, or other hitch mounted accessories.
- Fixed-drawbar type hitches are typically built as one piece tongue, have an integrated hole for the trailer ball, and are generally not compatible with aftermarket hitch accessories.
A receiver hitch pin hitches use a 40mm or 50mm box steel section inside another square box steel section. The common size is 50mm for receiver bars to 3500kg.
A Nice informative video below demonstrates how pins can become loose and fall off causing the trailer to become dislodged.
