R&P Service Insight
This component is typically replaced due to wear, environmental exposure, or repeated load stress over time—not sudden failure.
- Wear: The 1.25" ball hole can elongate over years of heavy cycling, leading to clunking or loose fitment.
- Exposure: While the zinc finish provides superior protection, salt and road chemicals can eventually lead to surface oxidation.
- Load Stress: Exceeding the 1,200 lb tongue weight can cause hairline stress fractures or deformation in the shank.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Fits all standard 2" x 2" Class V receiver hitches. Requires a hitch ball with a 1.25" shank diameter.
Vehicle / System Fit: Ideal for heavy-duty trailers, equipment haulers, and large boats requiring a Class V weight rating.
Installation Notes: Requires a 5/8" hitch pin and clip (sold separately). Always torque your hitch ball to the manufacturer's specified foot-pounds.
