Trailer Hitch

Take your vehicle's towing capabilities to the next level by choosing a dependable trailer hitch. Trailer hitches are vital metal receivers that connect your towing vehicle to a trailer. At Lee Nissan, we offer a diverse selection of trailer hitches that can simplify the process of towing large cargo. Choosing a trailer hitch with the appropriate weight rating is important to ensure safe towing, but it’s important to note that trailer hitches won't increase your vehicle's towing capacity.

Gooseneck Hitch

Upgrade your towing capabilities with a gooseneck hitch designed for enhanced stability, maneuverability, and increased towing capacity. By positioning the hitch directly over the rear axle in the bed of the pickup truck rather than at the rear bumper, you can take your towing to the next level.

Fifth-Wheel Hitch

Similar to the gooseneck hitch, the fifth-wheel hitch enhances towing capabilities by being positioned in the bed of a pickup truck above the rear axle. This allows for the towing of RVs or large trailers, which requires a household-shaped coupling on the truck and a kingpin on the trailer to maximize towing capabilities.

Common and Essential Towing Accessories

• Trailer Hitch Receiver Size: The commonly used trailer hitch size is a 2-inch receiver; however, the trailer's size directly impacts the hitch receiver's size.
• Ball Mount: The ball mount can be adjusted in height to fit your towing needs.
• Wiring Harness: The wiring harness connects the electrical signals from the towing vehicle to the trailer so you can safely transport your cargo.
• Trailer Brakes: When you are hauling large loads, trailer brakes can help increase stopping power.
