How the Andersen Rapid Hitch Works
The Rapid Hitch slides into your truck’s receiver and allows vertical adjustment of the ball mount channel. Once set to the correct height, the adjustment pin secures the channel in place, ensuring proper trailer alignment and safe towing geometry.
This adjustable design allows you to tow multiple trailers with different coupler heights using a single hitch system. By maintaining a level trailer, the Rapid Hitch improves stability, reduces uneven tire wear, and enhances overall towing control.
For added security, consider using an Andersen Locking Hitch Pin to protect your adjustable hitch from theft.
Why Choose the Andersen Rapid Hitch Over Fixed Ball Mounts?
When comparing adjustable hitch systems, flexibility and durability matter.
