First time towing with Gladiator, help please.

I know it was asked for a which one to buy but if you feel like inclined to do so… U-Haul guide. The guide says coupler height is approx. 18” … it’s usually is in the ballpark of 18~19”.

I agree with you. My hitch is 18" off the ground which leave my trailer level on the Yammi Jet boat.

There are a lot of recommendations on here.

To properly determine the proper drop hitch depth you need to take both the trailer and Gladitor to a flat, level surface. Then level out the trailer. Measure the trailer hitch to the ground. Then measure your Hitch to the gorund. There should be no more than 3 inches between the two. Subtract the taller from the shorter and that give you your proper drop hitch length.

Ideally, you want the truck and trailer to be perfectly level.

I have a 2020 max tow with 34s and no lift. I'm gonna be towing a 5x8 uhaul trailer. I need to get a hitch mount. How much drop do I need? Thanks in advance.

UHaul has everything you will need. Depending upon the local agency you’re using.

Uhaul has some nuisances when it comes Jeeps and towing. If you show up with a soft Top and not a hard top, they will not rent by policy. Also, they do check door jam stickers and tow ratings and may also deny if heavily modified. The full Uhaul corporate store are more prone to this than the local mom & pop ones run out of a corner gas station type Uhaul rental place.

I got a hitch with a 2 inch drop. The uhaul center is a hottub store. The old lady behind the counter printed out the contract and pointed to the trailer I rented.
