Equip your truck or SUV with the Weigh Safe 8-inch drop hitch featuring a built-in scale and 2-inch shank in black Cerakote finish. Designed for any vehicle with a standard 2-inch Class III/IV hitch receiver, this hitch measures tongue weight on the spot for safer towing. Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, it handles up to 12,500 lbs gross trailer weight with the 2-5/16" ball while providing easy adjustments and secure locking.
Key Features
- Integrated Tongue Weight Scale: Built-in gauge reads weight instantly without scales or jacks, ensuring loads stay between 10-15% of trailer GVWR for stability.
