Hitches

Since 1945, U-Haul has been America's number one hitch installer. Each year, more than one million customers come to us for expert hitch installations and trailer rentals.

Turn any vehicle into an SUV

U-Haul installed hitches improve the utility value of any vehicle. Your car, truck or van can accomplish any number of tasks it could not do before: Recreational applications such as towing your boat, camper or personal watercraft; commercial applications such as towing landscaping or construction equipment; and of course, moving with a U-Haul trailer.

What hitch is right for you?

A hitch is rated by the load it can safely bear. To check what hitches your vehicle is capable of using, use our hitch guide. To determine whether you can tow, or tow with, a certain vehicle, get a rate quote.

The towing experts

Although some people still weld trailer hitches to the frame (which could possibly weaken the frame or result in electrical damage), U-Haul offers only top-of-the-line, custom-fitted hitches that bolt to the frame, and usually use preexisting holes.

U-Haul is the driving force in the towing industry - witness the U-Haul round tube hitch. Designed to fit today's more aerodynamic vehicles, our round tube hitch combines safety and durability with practicality and good looks.

U-Haul pays attention to details, too. Leaning on our experience and engineering know-how, we've developed the safest hitch ball you can buy, made stronger and featuring patented safety mechanisms that reduce stress on common failure points. U-Haul is constantly striving to develop towing technology and to make recreational towing safer.

Lifetime warranty

$5 Lifetime Hitch Protection

U-Haul towing products conform to all safety standards required by the federal government, but we don't stop there. In fact U-Haul has the most stringent testing requirements in the industry.

To back up this belief, we offer a Lifetime Unlimited Warranty for $5 with every installation. No matter where you are in the United States or Canada, if something should go wrong with your hitch, just pull into one of over 1100 U-Haul Center locations. The problem will be repaired, no questions asked, even if you are involved in an accident. We won't fix the damage to the vehicle, but we'll replace the hitch once the vehicle is repaired.
