Selecting the Right Hitch Pin Size

 

If you're not sure what size hitch pin you need for your trailer, it's relatively easy to measure it. Just take a look at the coupler where the pin would go and measure the diameter of the hole. If you have the owner's manual for your trailer, you can refer to that, as well. In general, Class I and II hitches use pins with a diameter of ½", while Class III, IV and V calls for a 5/8" hitch pin. Having the proper-sized pin is critical for ensuring secure towing and preventing accidents while on the road. 

 

Durable Construction

 

Because they're tasked with securing heavy loads, hitch pins need to be made of strong, durable materials. This is why they are primarily made of hardened or stainless steel. This ensures they will not deform or break under duress and keep your trailer securely hitched to your vehicle.

 

How Hitch Pins Work

 

In most hitch setups, the pin fits through the holes in the coupler on the trailer and the mount on your vehicle. A trailer hitch pin clip also may be used in the pin to prevent it from falling out in transit. This arrangement is necessary to keep the trailer securely fastened to the vehicle and prevent accidents. 

 

Whatever you're hauling in your trailer, a hitch pin is a small but crucial piece of equipment. Parts Via can have your new hitch pin delivered straight to you, your installer or one of the more than 2,000 retailers in our network. Get in touch with us today to learn more.
