Towing Accessories and Hitches

How Towing Accessories and Hitches Affect Capabilities

Prepare your vehicle for towing and hauling by opting for a robust model with a potent engine and a sturdy chassis. Chevrolet trucks are renowned for their power and performance, and at Carter Chevrolet, we offer a range of towing hitches and accessories to enhance their towing capacity to its fullest. When you need to move the heaviest loads, you’re looking for a Chevy Silverado HD—either the brawny 2500 or the big, bad 3500—and you can count on Chevy’s HD lineup to get the job done. Period.

Essential Towing Accessories

Ensure a smooth towing experience with essential accessories:

• Trailer Hitch Receiver Size: Choose the standard 2-inch receiver opening or consider the trailer's specific size for the right fit.
• Trailer Brakes: Install trailer brakes for enhanced stopping power, especially when towing larger items.
• Ball Mount: Adjustable height ball mounts cater to your towing requirements and securely attach to the trailer hitch receiver.
• Wiring Harness:Transmit electrical signals between your trailer and towing vehicle for effective communication with other drivers.

Trailer Hitch Options

Choose from various trailer hitch types to connect your truck to a trailer seamlessly. While trailer hitches don't increase towing capacity, selecting the right one with the appropriate weight rating ensures a safe towing experience. Carter Chevrolet provides a wide selection of trailer hitches to simplify towing large cargo items.

Experience enhanced stability and maneuverability with a gooseneck hitch, which connects to a trailer using a ball positioned in the pickup truck's bed directly over the rear axle. This design improves towing capacity and ensures a secure connection.

Fifth-Wheel Hitch

Similar to the gooseneck hitch, the fifth-wheel hitch enhances stability and maneuverability by being positioned in the truck's bed above the rear axle. Commonly used with RVs and large trailers, this hitch type utilizes a kingpin on the trailer and a household-shaped coupling on the truck.
