Hello again Frank; tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight. At 5,400 lbs you could go over the max 800 lb tongue weight of the #FA94-00-0800 but that probably isn't the case here. If you really want to be sure you could always…
Hi Chris; the reason you don't see it addressed in the video is we typically don't see trailers come in with a pintle hook/lunette ring setup. Gen-Y makes really solid, overengineered products so I expect the Phantom X #GY95XR to perform…
No, Chris, the adjustable #WS97WR and #WS52ER, and all Weigh Safe pintle hitches, are only to be used in the drop position. The sliding ball mount with built-in scale is designed for safe use in the downward position only, no matter which attachment…
The Brophy Pintle Hook for 2-1/2" Hitches part #BR27FR is designed for a 2-1/2" trailer hitch and maintains a 36,000 lb weight capacity when used correctly. That said, the actual weight capacity of the trailer hitch/vehicle can and usually…
Hey Bill thanks for the information. The C865H-9/16 in that axle tag number means you have 8 on 6-1/2 hubs with 9/16" lug studs. The Hydrastar item #HSE7K-T1, you were looking comes with 1/2" lug studs. You'll need the Hydrastar Disc…
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
Hello Michael, thanks for reaching out. I really wish we did because that would be awesome, but I am sorry to say none of our electric trailer dollies can handle that much of a grade. The closest thing we have would be the Parkit360 Force Electric…
The Buyers Products 45 Ton Pintle Hook #337PH45 does not have the 4 inch square bolt pattern but rather uses a different pattern. Vertically the holes are 3 inches on center. Horizontally the top row is 5-1/4 inches on center and the bottom is 6-1/2…
Yes, you can use the Pintle Hook Mount, #63059, in either a rise or drop position. If you need a bolt on pintle hook, use #C48205. It has a 10,000 pound capacity so it has more than enough capacity for your trailer.
Hey Wendell, thanks for the information! Since you have a Lippert 122093 hub for a 5,200 lbs axle you'll need the Bearing Kit item #BK3-300. This kit includes inner and outer bearings, races, a grease seal, and a replacement cotter pin. This kit…
Jacob, the only difference is the range. The #WS52ER gives you up to 6 inch of drop, while the #WS97WR goes to 8. Both are built on a 2.5 inch shank, both are rated 22K GTW / 2,200 lbs tongue weight, and both include the pintle plus 2 inch and 2-5/16…
Hey Eric, do you have any trailer wiring at all currently like a 4-way or is there nothing at all there? Also, you said 7-way round but did you mean 7-way blade instead? Do the pins look like the one on the left or the right? Left is blade and right…

Pintle hitches are essential for towing heavy-duty trailers, offering versatility and strength. Ideal for military and commercial use, they can handle various trailer heights and weights. Consider compatibility with your vehicle and trailer, and the need for additional mounting hardware.
Pintle hitches are versatile because they can accommodate both pintle and ball hitch setups, making them suitable for towing a variety of trailers, from military to commercial.

While installation is generally straightforward, some users have noted the need for additional mounting hardware, such as bolts, which may not be included. It's important to ensure all components are properly packaged to avoid damage during shipping, and to check compatibility with your vehicle's receiver size.
Consider the weight capacity and adjustability of the hitch to match your towing needs. Ensure it fits your vehicle's receiver size, typically 2 or 2.5 inches. Also, check for any additional features like dual pintle and ball hitch functionality, which can enhance versatility for different towing scenarios.
In real-world use, pintle hitches are praised for their durability and reliability. They perform well in towing military and commercial trailers over long distances, maintaining stability and security. Users appreciate their ability to adjust for different trailer heights, ensuring a smooth and level towing experience.
