The Class V Standard Trailer Hitch Ball Mount is a receiver hitch accessory consisting of a trailer ball platform and shank. It is ideal for towing trailers and can be used with full-size pickup trucks, SUVs, flatbeds and other commercial vehicles. The trailer hitch ball mount's hollow steel design provides the ultimate strength and can be used in either the drop or rise position for towing applications depending on your requirement. Made of durable, heavy-duty steel construction with a black powder coat finish that is corrosion-resistant to withstand extreme weather. Class V mounts are great for towing very large campers, large boats and yachts, and trailers carrying commercial construction equipment. While these are common uses for this class, it is important that you know the total weight of the trailer and its contents, and that you do not exceed the recommended maximum towing capacity determined by your vehicle manufacturer.
