Hitch Ball
A hitch ball is a spherical metal component used in towing systems, typically mounted on a vehicle's rear. It connects a trailer to a towing vehicle, allowing for safe and secure transport. The hitch ball is attached to a hitch receiver, which is bolted to the vehicle's frame, ensuring stability while driving.
Hitch balls come in various sizes and weight ratings, accommodating different types of trailers, such as utility trailers and boat trailers. Proper selection of a hitch ball is crucial for safe towing, as it must match the trailer's coupler size and weight capacity to prevent accidents and ensure smooth travel.
