Rapid Hitch
The Rapid Hitch - This is the revolutionary aluminum adjustable
ball mount that has taken the hitch world by storm. No ball
mount is more versatile or easier to use than the Rapid Hitch.
Its adjustability allows you to tow easily and safely by
keeping your trailer parallel to the ground, maintaining
a more stable towing experience.
The Rapid Hitch is made of an aluminum super alloy that
will NEVER RUST! The aluminum looks great by itself, so there
is no need for paint or chrome that can chip and peel. To
keep the shine, you simply need to polish the hitch from
time to time and you will have a high gloss surface that
looks brand new.
Another benefit to this aluminum super alloy
is that it is light and surprisingly strong. It only weighs
15 lbs. with the greaseless ball option making it easy to
handle and adjust. It is V5 certified with a strength rating
of 10,000 lbs. and 1,500 tongue weight with the 2 5/16" steel
ball. The Rapid Hitch is built for the long haul...the real
world where ease of use and strength really count. All Rapid
Hitch sizes have a 10,000 lb. GTWR and 1,500 lb. tongue weight
- limited by ball capacity.
The Rapid Hitch is the perfect hitch for anyone
who tows multiple trailers. You can flip the double ball
over, change the drop to a rise, or adjust the height of
the drop all by simply removing the hitch pin and putting
it back in place. With the easy height adjustment you can
make sure you are keeping your trailer level. With the 2" and
2 5/16" ball combo, you cover most trailers on the road today.
We also have a combination ball that includes the 1 7/8" and
2" ball. The 3 common ball sizes (i.e. 1 7/8", 2" & 2
5/16") are available individually if desired. The various
balls are easily changed by removing a hidden pin which attaches
the ball to the ball housing. (See instructions for further
details.) Fits any 2" standard receiver.
The Rapid Hitch is
available in three drop sizes:
-
The 5 3/4" drop/rise
is designed to fit all factory standard pick-up trucks.
However, we have discovered that in some instances the
standard Rapid Hitch will drag on the ground in a dip,
so we have added the SUV Rapid Hitch to help eliminate
this situation.
-
The 10" drop is recommended for lifted vehicles
and has adjustment options from approximately 4" of drop
to the full 10" drop.
-
The 3 3/4" drop is designed for SUV's,
light trucks, and ½ ton trucks
A quick and easy way to
judge what size drop you need is to measure from the ground
up to the inside top of your 2" receiver tube. If the
measurement is 20" or
less - the 3 3/4" drop is for you. If the measurement
is between 20" and 24" you need the 5 3/4" drop. If
you measure more than 24" you will need the 10" drop. The
tongue heights of your trailers and the suspension on
your truck play a part, but in most cases these measurements
will give you what you need. If you are unsure,
please take your truck to your local dealer for advice.
