A row boat trailer will require a different hitch than a horse trailer. Likewise a full-size truck will pull more than a minivan. Make sure you evaluate all your possible needs.

Now, let's look at the two general of trailer hitch accessory categories. The weight-distributing hitch has an attachment that slides into the receiver to transfer part of the weight on the tongue. It has two spring bars, for each side of the trailer, to provide leverage to the vehicle pulling the weight.
