Benefits of Reversing a Tow Ball Hitch
Repco | 5th Aug 2024 | 2 minutes to read
If you have a tow ball tongue or hitch held in place with a locking pin, these are designed to be reversible, allowing you to get different levels of rise for towing. This is important if you need to accommodate different trailer heights so that you are towing at the correct level.
Level towing is crucial for stability, proper weight distribution, and safe handling and an adjustable tow hitch can make this much easier to accomplish.
Reversible hitches often allow for different tow balls to be applied, helping you match your hitch to the coupler of the trailer you need to tow and can make off-roading on even terrain less of a struggle due to higher ground clearance for your tow ball.
Reversing the hitch is as simple as removing the hitch pin, flipping the tow ball hitch 180 degrees and replacing it, then locking the hitch pin back in place.
For extra security, try using a locking hitch pin.
