Frequently
Asked
Questions

What is the height of the ball?

How do I find the tow rating of my truck?

You will definitely want to know what your truck's rating is before undertaking any towing activity. While we would love to be able to help our customers with those figures, they vary not only based on Make, Model and Year, but also things like Engine Size, Type of Transmission and even Gear to Axle Ratios. Luckily, there are several places to learn about your truck's tow rating.

1. Check your owner's manual. Most owner's manuals will have something regarding a tow rating, even for passenger cars. What you may find is that some manufacturers will provide extensive information on important ratings, while other provide a bare minimum.

2. If your owner's manual doesn't provide the information you need, or if what is in there proves to be confusing, contact your local truck dealer. They will usually have that information readily available, or will be able to find it quickly. Having your VIN number handy will help this process along.

3. Check the manufacturer's website for the make and model of your truck. If you're looking at buying a new truck, most manufacturer's websites will offer at least some figures. If you still can't find the pertinent information on your own, usually there will be combination of e-mail, telephone and live chat options where you can hopefully get a direct answer.

4. There are numerous online sites with detailed information. Here is one site that offers a good range of information. It includes PDF copies of past issues of Trailer Like magazine. Locate your year, make and model of your vehicle to find tow rating, along with other helpful ratings. A website search will provide other sources of information. www.trailerlife.com/trailer-towing-guides

How often do I grease my OEM Ball?

How much grease is needed is a function of how much it is used and how dirty the environment. If you notice that the grease coating on your ball is gone, it's probably time to apply more!

How do I determine Vertical Tow Weight (VTW)?

Put the back tires of your vehicle on a scale with your trailer fully loaded and unloaded. Then, subtract your empty load from your full load to get your vertical tongue weight.
