Always confirm your vehicle, hitch and trailer ratings before towing and never exceed the lowest-rated component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this fit my 1-1\/4-inch receiver?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
