Mastering Hitch Types for Towing

What type of hitch allows the ball platform to be removed?

A) Weight-distributing hitch

B) Gooseneck hitch

C) Receiver hitch

D) Bumper hitch

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Receiver hitch.

A receiver hitch is a type of hitch that allows the ball platform to be removed. It consists of a receiver tube that is mounted to the vehicle's frame and a removable ball platform that slides into the receiver and is secured with a pin and clip.

Receiver hitches are commonly used for towing trailers and other heavy loads. They offer flexibility because the ball platform can be easily removed when not in use, allowing the vehicle to have a flat and unobstructed rear end.
