Trailer Hitch Classes and Weight Capacity Comparison

Comparison of Class I, II, and III Trailer Hitches

Today were going to cover a common question, what does class I, II, and III mean and what does it mean to my vehicle. Were going to go through them all and show you what the differences are, some are subtle and some are rather apparent. Basically, well make it easier for you. Were going to start off with this example here which is a class I hitch. Class I means this hitch is good for trailers up to 2000 pounds. What were going to show you over here is the sticker which shows the different weights and capacities involved. Well show you what those mean. As you can see by the sticker here, were going to show you some notes on it, these stickers will apply to any class hitch that you come across. Once you figure out what this means, youre home free. Starting here at max gross trailer weight which shows 2000 pounds.
