If you are looking into custom horse trailers, you will have a lot on your mind. There are so many aspects to consider. You need to consider load, capabilities, size, weight, material and options. You also have to make sure the trailer offers comfort for your horses. However, no matter how much you get caught up in the process, you should never forget to look at your options for one particular piece of equipment – the trailer hitch.
Shopping for a Trailer Hitch
It is easy to forget the hitch. It is often an afterthought. It is an attachment, however, that is vital if you are going to tow your trailer safely. When shopping for a trailer hitch, be sure you consider the two following aspects before you decide to make a purchase:
1. The total towing capacity of the vehicle you plan to use
2. The total weight of the custom horse trailer you are planning to haul
This provides you with the two most important qualities to look for in a hitch. However, you should consider purchasing a hitch that is capable of handling more than the actual current weight of your horse trailer. By doing so, you can allow yourself room for a future upgrade.
