Buying Guide

Choose the right receiver size

Match the drawbar to your vehicle's receiver (common sizes include 2" and 2-1/2") to ensure proper fit and safe towing

Confirm towing capacity rating

Select a drawbar with a published towing or tongue weight rating at or above your trailer's requirements—some options list ratings up to 20,000 lbs

Pick the correct hitch attachment

Decide between ball mounts, pintle hooks, or multi-ball/tri-ball setups based on your trailer coupler type and versatility needs

Prefer forged steel construction

Forged steel drawbars and balls resist deformation under load and provide better durability for repeated towing

Consider drop/rise adjustability

Adjustable drawbars or fixed drops (e.g., 4" drop or 6" drop) help achieve level towing and reduce strain on the towing vehicle and trailer
