How to Enjoy Trailer Hitches in Toronto Year-Round

Trailer hitches are not just a summer thing. In fact, you could use the trailer hitch you purchase year-round. Whether it is towing your family trailer or moving a friend, you would be surprised at the uses and accessories that make a single hitch the most versatile tool you will ever purchase.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Trailer Hitches

Trailer hitches in Toronto only seem to come out in the summer, but they can be used for much more than a single season. Think about it:

• • Spring – Use your trailer hitch to haul stuff out of storage, move landscaping equipment or even for spring cleaning when you need to haul away old items to the disposal centre.
• • Summer – Take the entire family on vacation by towing your trailer or take out a boat rental to the lake.
• • Fall – Help friends and family move or fill up a trailer with leaves and grass clippings to take to a local recycling centre.
• • Winter – Use your trailer hitch to tow snowmobiles or even take your boat back to storage for the summer.

To get the most out of your trailer hitch, you may want to purchase a few accessories, including:

• • Pins, Clips and Locks – These are essential accessories for every trailer and they make attaching a trailer to your tow hitch much easier. While most hitches come with a starter kit, you may want to upgrade to a better kit that has keys and a lock as well.
• • Safety Chains – To prevent any accidental runaway trailers, you should use a safety chain. This is located on the tongue of your trailer and features safety hook to secure your trailer to the hitch.
• • Hitch Covers – For the times your trailer hitch is not in use, use a hitch tube cover to keep grime, dirt and the elements from getting in there.
• • Adapters and Extenders – There are numerous hitch-mounted accessories that let you get the most out of your trailer hitch, such as hitch-mounted bike racks, and cargo racks.
