Hitch ball size
I just purchased a 1975 28' Carriage trailer. I am picking it up tomorrow but forgot to check the hitch ball size, and the owner doesn't know. Does anyone have any idea what ball size that trailer would require? Thanks!

- Update - it was a 2 5/16" ball, and luck would have it the trailer came with a WDH setup. Once again, thanks for the help.

I would look over the tires really good before you take off to make sure they aren't dry rotted/cracked.- I would advise for you to get a 2 5/16 ball with 10,000 lb capacity. They sell 2 5/16 balls with 6000 lb capacity. The 6000 lb capacity would be at its limit for that 28 ft trailer. Just my opinion.:D

- 99.999 % it is 2 5/16ths
- More than likely 2 5/16" for one that size. Did you buy a whole WDH setup?
- I'm not sure about your trailer but the three 26' trailers I've had and the 28' that I have now were all 2-5/16".
