This pintle hitch stows under the vehicle when no trailer is attached, which keeps it out of the way. It is built to be durable and strong, and it carries features in common with the Tow & Stow receiver hitch.

Pintle hitches and towing
A pintle hitch works with a trailer that has a pintle eye or lunette ring rather than a ball coupler. Because the load is held by a hook and a latch, the trailer and hitch must match in eye size and pin fit. A loose or worn latch can let the trailer come off the hook, so check it before every trip.
Stowing a pintle hitch under the vehicle is convenient, but the stowed position still needs a secure latch and a clear path to the ground. Inspect the pivot points, the pin and the mounting bolts regularly, especially after rough roads or heavy towing. Keep the mechanism clean and lightly lubricated to help it move freely.
- Confirm the trailer eye fits the pintle hook
- Check the latch and pin before each trip
- Inspect pivot points and mounting bolts regularly
