A Class III Hitch is a type of trailer hitch designed for towing heavier loads. It typically has a weight capacity of up to 8,000 pounds for towing and 1,000 pounds for a weight distribution system. This hitch is commonly used for larger trailers, such as boat trailers, car haulers, and campers. Class III hitches feature a 2-inch receiver tube, which allows for a variety of accessories and attachments. They are often installed on SUVs, trucks, and some larger sedans to enhance towing capabilities. Proper installation and adherence to weight limits are essential for safe towing.
