How to Hook Up a Trailer

Hooking up a trailer seems intimidating the first time, but it’s actually simple once you know what to check. Here’s the exact process renters use with our fleet.

Verify the Correct Hitch Ball Size

Before connecting anything, confirm that the hitch ball size matches the trailer coupler. Using the wrong ball size can cause the trailer to disconnect while driving, making this the most common and dangerous mistake.

Raise the Coupler & Position Your Vehicle

Raise the trailer coupler using the jack, then slowly back your vehicle until the hitch ball is centered beneath it. Proper alignment makes connection safe and easy.

Lower & Securely Lock the Coupler

Lower the coupler completely onto the hitch ball, then close and lock the latch. Insert the safety pin or lock to prevent the coupler from opening during travel.

Properly Attach the Safety Chains

Connect the safety chains to your vehicle’s hitch points and cross them underneath the coupler. This adds backup security if the primary connection fails.
