What is a fixed ball mount typically used for?

A fixed ball mount is specifically designed for light towing applications, making it a popular choice for those needing to transport lighter loads such as small trailers, boats, or utility trailers. This type of mount secures the hitch in a fixed position, offering stability for smaller, lighter loads without the need for adjustments or changes in height.

Using a fixed ball mount for light towing provides a reliable connection to the tow vehicle, ensuring that the load remains stable during transport. In contrast, heavy towing often requires a more adaptable setup to manage the greater forces and weight involved, which is why a fixed ball mount may not be suitable for these heavier applications. It’s essential to match the hitch equipment to the specific towing needs and the weight of the load to ensure safety and performance on the road.
