Pintle Hitch VS. Ball Hitch
When it comes to bumper towing, the two main hitch types to keep in mind are ball hitches and pintle hitches. Ball hitches are typically used on vehicles that are towing small boats or trailers and are most common for recreational purposes. Ball hitches attach to a trailer coupler and are available in 3 different ball sizes (1-7/8”, 2”, or 2-5/16”). The trailer coupler is typically a tighter fit with less movement between the ball and coupler. There are definite pros to this because it creates a smoother towing experience, but it also has its drawbacks. For instance, the...
7 Unwritten Rules of Boat Ramp Etiquette
Growing up in Florida as a kid, I would spend almost every weekend out on the water with my dad in our family fishing boat, a 17 foot Mako center console. Our local boat ramp was just a couple of miles down the road and because we spent so much time on the water, we eventually perfected the perfect launching and loading strategy that would get our boat on or off the trailer in less than 30 seconds.

Determining the Right BulletProof Hitches Drop Hitch and Misconceptions
Determining the right BulletProof Hitch for your vehicle is a very simple process, however it is important to filter out misinformation that tends to be passed around as absolute truth. Some common misconceptions of drop hitches: -All drops are equal, for example an 8" drop hitch from one company is the same as an 8" drop hitch from another company. While this may be true sometimes, there is no industry standard for how the "drop" of a hitch is measured. This means that different companies can measure their drop from different places on the hitch and the ball. Always consult...
2.0", 2.5", and 3.0" Hitches - Which Is Right For You?
When discussing trailer hitches, it is easy to get confused when talking about 2", 2.5" and 3" hitches. In this short article, we will go over what these measurements stand for and which hitch is best for your application. Before we begin, let's discuss the difference between the trailer hitch and the hitch receiver.
