Types of Trailer Hitches for Trucks

There are several styles of trailer hitch for trucks beyond the standard tow-behind, rear-bumper-mounted hitch receiver used to tow small cargo trailers and lightweight travel trailers. Check out some of the most popular alternative varieties below.

Trailer Hitches

Trailer hitches, also known as hitch receivers, enable drivers to hitch their pickup, Jeep, or SUV to a traditional tow-behind trailer. Trailer hitches come in several sizes and weight classes, ensuring compatibility across most trailers and vehicles.

Fifth Wheel Hitches

Fifth-wheel hitches are a bed-mounted variety used to tow large, heavy fifth-wheel trailers. These hitches offer exceptional strength, durability, and maneuverability, allowing for better control over your trailer while towing and parking. Fifth-wheel hitches distribute weight over the rear axle rather than behind it, thus improving towing properties and reducing strain on your vehicle’s rear suspension. 

While fifth-wheel hitches offer several benefits over conventional hitch receivers, they also require modifications like cutting and drilling into the bed and welding/bolting brackets to the frame rails.

Gooseneck Hitches

Similar to the fifth wheel hitches, gooseneck hitches are heavy-duty hitches designed for extreme loads and improved maneuverability.

Gooseneck hitches are often used to tow cargo trailers, horse trailers, and other oversized trailers. They can also accept standard fifth-wheel trailers using adapters.

Like fifth-wheel hitches, gooseneck hitches require modifications to your vehicle's bed and chassis for proper installation.

Front Hitches

Front hitches are another common hitch variety, installed at the front of your pickup rather than the rear. These hitches can be used to mount particular accessories, maneuver trailers into tight parking spaces, and more. However, they typically have a lower weight rating than conventional hitch receivers.
