Description
The Original Rapid Hitch is the revolutionary aluminum adjustable ball mount that has taken the hitch world by storm. No ball mount is more versatile or easier to use than the Rapid Hitch. Its adjust-ability allows you to tow easily and safely by keeping your trailer parallel to the ground, maintaining a more stable towing experience. The Rapid Hitch is made of an aluminum super alloy that will NEVER RUST! The aluminum looks great by itself, so there is no need for paint or chrome that can chip and peel. To keep the shine, you simply need to polish the hitch from time to time and you will have a high gloss surface that looks brand new.Another benefit to this aluminum super alloy is that it is light and surprisingly strong. It only weighs 15 lbs. making it easy to handle and adjust. It is V5 certified with a strength rating of 10,000 lbs. and 1,500 tongue weight with the 2 5/16" steel ball. The Rapid Hitch is built for the long haul and the real world where ease of use and strength really count.The Rapid Hitch is available in three drop sizes - the 4" drop/rise, the 6" drop/rise, and a full 10" drop. The 10" drop is recommended for lifted vehicles and has adjustment options from approximately 4" of drop to the full 10" drop. The standard 6" drop/rise is recommended for all factory standard pick-up trucks. The shorter 4" Rapid Hitch works best with most light trucks, 1/2 ton trucks, and SUV's. A quick and easy way to judge what size drop you need is to measure from the ground up to the inside top of your 2 inch receiver tube. If the measurement is 20" or less - the 4" drop is for you. If the measurement is between 20" and 24" you need the 6" drop. If you measure more than 24" you will need the 10" drop. The tongue heights of your trailers and the suspension on your truck play a part, but in most cases these measurements will give you what you need.
