Adjustable Tow Hitch

Adjustable tow hitches provide crucial flexibility to match your vehicle’s height with different trailers or caravans, ensuring a level and safer towing setup.

They achieve this through multiple height positions in the shank.

Key Considerations

When choosing an adjustable tow hitch, consider the following to ensure optimal performance and safety:

Towing Capacity: Always choose a hitch that matches or exceeds your vehicle’s maximum towing capacity and the aggregate trailer mass (ATM) of your trailer or caravan.

Drop/Rise Range: Ensure the hitch offers enough vertical adjustment to achieve a perfectly level towing setup, which is essential for stability and control.

Material: Options include heavy-duty steel (strong and durable) and high-strength alloy/aluminium (lightweight and corrosion-resistant).

ADR Compliance: Verify that the hitch complies with the Australian Design Rules (ADR 62/02) for mechanical connections between vehicles for safety and legality.
