Receiver Hitch with converter?

Question

Hi I'm getting a

Towing Receiver Hitch w/Converter (Class II) on a vehicle tomorrow. There area few things that i use that need a class 3 receiver. I'm confused on what the converter does, will the converter let me use a class 3 receiver if I buy one and just connect it?

Answer 1

The rating of a hitch, class 1,2 or 3 is for the total towed weight and the weight on the tongue. You should always install the largest hitch that your car/truck can handle, the price difference is very little.

  If you tow different trailers that take different size balls,and have different tongue heights , then you buy the proper ball and receiver.

Answer 2

The Converter is an electrical connector package that  either

A) allows the electrical connections to be made without cutting any wires.

OR

B) "Converts" the  light wiring  to use either 4 wire or 7 wire trailers

Class II is Class II up to 3500 pounds gross towing weight

and 350# tongue weight

Anything more MAY cause permanent damage to your vehicle

Answer 3

I’ve never herd of a converter for a hitch.

All I can thing of is an adapter!

That would be inserted into a receiver opening and reduce it from the larger opening to the smaller 1” for using the smaller tow bar assembly for  light items. But I wouldn’t use an adapter, I would just get the different ball, anyway.
