What Size Hitch Do I Need?
If you are unsure or have any questions, please contact us at 941-251-8110 and we will be happy to help you select the correct hitch for your vehicle.
Measure the opening of the receiver tube to determine what size shank your vehicle requires. It will either be 2”, 2.5” or 3”. Please Note: The 3” is only applicable to some 2017 and newer Ford Super Duty trucks and some RVs/semis.
Park your vehicle on level ground and measure from the ground to the bottom inside of the receiver tube, then take that measurement and apply it to the information below. Based on the measurement of 19” from the ground to the bottom opening of the receiver tube this vehicle would require a 4” drop/rise hitch.
