A trailer hitch ball is the towing accessory that attaches to the ball mount and provides the connection from the trailer hitch to the trailer. The trailer ball is gripped by the coupler and held into place on the trailer's frame. Trailer hitch balls are sold in different ball sizes, shank lengths, diameters and capacities.

What Do I Need To Consider When Choosing A Hitch Ball?

Ball Size:

The ball size is determined by the size of the trailer coupler.

Shank Size:

The ball mount determins the ball shank (hole that ball goes into) diameter and ball shank length. The shank sizes are determined by the class of trailer hitch you have.

Class I & II: 3/4" Diameter

Class III & IV: 1" Diameter

Class IV & V: 1.25" Diameter

Capacity:

The weight rating of the hitch ball should be equal to the weight rating of your trailer hitch and ball mount.
