Adjustable for Multiple Trailers

One of the biggest advantages of the Gen-Y Mega-Duty Hitch is its ability to quickly adapt to different trailers. The ball mount can be repositioned using the retaining pins, allowing the tow ball height to be adjusted without changing the entire hitch.

This makes the hitch an excellent choice for owners who tow a variety of trailers with different drawbar heights, helping maintain a level towing attitude for safer and more predictable handling.

This model is supplied with a genuine 50mm tow ball, making it suitable for trailers fitted with standard Australian 50mm ball couplings. As part of the Gen-Y interchangeable platform, the ball mount can also be replaced with compatible accessories such as a Versa-Ball, Australian Tongue or Pintle Lock if your towing requirements change.
