- Class 2 Hitches: are rated up to 3500 lbs. gross trailer weight with a maximum of 350 pounds tongue weight. They are usually found on large cars and small trucks, SUVs, and vans.
- Class 3 Hitches: are rated up to 5000 lbs. gross trailer weight with a maximum of 500 pounds tongue weight. They are usually found on large trucks, SUVs, and vans.
