Let Champion Trailer Help You Find The Right Trailer Hitch for Your Vehicle
Trailers have become a ubiquitous sight on our roads, and nearly every trailer is usually accompanied by a trailer hitch responsible for its towing. While towing remains the primary purpose of trailer hitches, they find diverse applications, including accommodating bike racks, steps, and cargo management solutions. Nowadays, most heavy-duty trucks are factory-equipped with a standard receiver hitch at the rear, but there are several other hitch types that can be added to a truck. These encompass the Rear Receiver Hitch, Front Mount Hitch, 5th Wheel Hitch, Gooseneck Hitch, Pintle Hitch, Bumper Hitch, and Weight Distribution Hitch, all designed to cater to different towing and hauling needs.
Rear Receiver Hitch
The rear receiver hitch is by far the most common type of hitch. This type of hitch can be used for towing a trailer along with many other uses like I mentioned above. The classic rear receiver hitch has a square receiver tube. Since the receiver is a simple square tube, the options for applications are almost endless. When it comes to mounting, these hitches mount directly to the frame of the vehicle in the rear.
Front Mount Hitch
The front mount hitch can be a very useful addition to the front of your vehicle. This type of hitch is very similar to a rear hitch because it bolts directly to the frame. The hitch then gives you a receiver in the front that you can use for a wide variety of applications including a cargo carrier, insert a winch into it, install a snow plow, or use it to park your trailer into a small space. These hitches are very versatile like the rear hitch.
Fifth Wheel Hitch
The fifth wheel hitch is a heavy-duty hitch that mounts into the bed of a truck bed right over or just forward of the rear axle. Generally, these hitches are used to haul large campers, travel trailers, and car haulers. The hitch receives the king pin from the trailer and then the hitch secures it with with a jaw mechanism. 5th wheel hitches are also only available for pickup trucks.
Gooseneck Hitch
Gooseneck hitches are very similar to 5th wheel hitches in many ways. They mount in a similar location which is over or just forward of the rear axle. Gooseneck hitches are also designed for pickup trucks only. One thing about Gooseneck hitches is that they are less intrusive than 5th wheel hitches. Gooseneck hitches are designed so that you can have full use of your bed while you are not towing something.
Pintle Hitch
Although the line of distinction between a standard hitch or something like a ball mount can be a little faint with Pintle Hitches, the hooking curt pintle hitch part of this system is attached to the truck, and the lunette(which is the ring it hooks to) is attached to the trailer. The pintle can be mounted either directly to the framing of large commercial trucks and dump trucks or it can mounted to a mount that slides into the receiver of a hitch.
Weight Distribution Hitch
Weight distribution hitches are mounted to rear hitch of a vehicle. The purpose of a weight distribution hitch is that they distribute the tongue weight across the tow vehicle and the trailer. The main focus of a weight distribution hitch is the use of “spring rods” to leverage the connection point. These rods take some of the tongue weight off and redistribute it to other parts, thus taking weight off the rear of the tow vehicle and helping it steer better.

Without Rails
Over a quarter of a century ago, the invention of the Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch delighted customers who could conveniently flip the ball to free up their truck bed. After a few years, inquiries emerged regarding the feasibility of applying this concept to a fifth-wheel hitch. The answer, as it turns out, is a resounding 'yes'! B&W's Companion Fifth-Wheel Hitch utilizes the same under-bed mounting system as the original Turnoverball and boasts a single-point attachment. When not in use, the Companion can be easily removed, granting your truck the versatility to transport other cargo.

Puck System

These mounting systems incorporate 'pucks' that are strategically positioned at varying intervals for hitch attachment. At Champion Trailer, we supply B & W Companion Bases and other reputable brands that are compatible with these puck or prep package systems.
