Default Time to choose a Trailer Hitch at CARiD!



If you need to use your FJ Cruiser for towing purposes, you cannot do it without a trailer hitch. All of them are divided into 5 main classes and to choose the right one you need to know the weight of your cargo and towing capacity of your vehicle:

Class I - up to 2,000 pounds towing capacity, 200 to 250 pounds tongue weight, for midsize cars.
Class II - up to 3,500 pounds towing capacity, 250 to 350 pounds tongue weight, for small cars or light SUVs.
Class III - up to 6,000 pounds towing capacity, 350 to 600 pounds tongue weight. This type is the common for today and can be found on full-size cars of full-size pickups.
Class IV - up to 10,000 pounds towing capacity, 600 to 1,000 pounds tongue weight. Its perfect for those, who need to haul heavy equipment or large camper trailers.
Class V – Up to 25,000 pounds towing capacity, fifth wheel/gooseneck.
